About This Home
As of December 2021Here's a lovely and affordable 2 story, 2 bedroom, thoroughly upgraded house in an exciting area. This is one of two houses side-by-side, both listed for sale by the same owner. 1ST FLOOR; Enter into front living area with original hardwood floors and stairs. 2nd living area on other side of stairway before passage to rear kitchen with new cabinets and appliances. Rear yard has room enough for guests and grilling 2ND FLOOR: Front bedroom with great light and closet. Rear bedroom can serve as a small 2nd bed, or guestroom, study or workspace. Bathroom has all newer tile and ceramic fixtures. BASEMENT is partially finished - with full laundry and some nice extra space for crafting, music, or storage. All mechanicals have been upgraded and well as the roof and sewer line. 3 houses down there is a lovely green space created by the neighbors. Close to public transit (EL Station is 3 blocks away) as well as the 5 Bus on Frankford Ave steps away - both are a quick trip to Center City. This is your opportunity to own your own home, on a great block with great neighbors - in a neighborhood that continues to inspire investment for well over a decade now. House is a pleasure to walkthrough and easy to show. --Thanks--
