About This Home
As of August 2021Welcome to 408 Seneca Street, an extremely rare opportunity with exceptional value on a quiet, dead end street--TWO SEPARATE turnkey dwellings on one lot. The potential for this property is incredible, perfectly set up for multi or extended family living in separate buildings. Additionally you could live in one and rent the other, or rent both units and the unfinished workshop space below the rear house to maximize rental income. Please be sure to look at the upgrades lists for both houses in the pictures, as they are too extensive to list here. As you enter the front house you will be greeted by new railings, siding, and fresh exterior paint, that gives it a modern feel. Upon entering you will feel as if you have walked into new construction! From the real 3/4 inch hardwood floors to the gourmet stainless kitchen complete with shaker cabinets, Corian countertops, and custom built-in organization throughout, no attention to detail has been left out. The former owner was an HVAC contractor who installed a commercial grade, ultra efficient, heating/cooling system that is designed to last forever. The front house used to be oil heat (disconnected oil tank in basement) but has since been converted to natural gas powered forced air to maximize efficiency. All windows have recently been replaced/caulked/capped with Silverline energy efficient windows to maintain interior temperature regardless of weather outside. This home feels spacious with high ceilings, recessed can lighting, and new ceiling fans in every room. As you proceed downstairs to the basement, you will find an immaculately maintained unfinished, but dry area that could easily be finished with a little work. Additionally, there is plumbing for a future toilet roughed in behind a small demising wall for an added bonus to really add value to a future living area! As you proceed upstairs you will notice the open stairwell and new carpets that lead up to the completely remodeled full bathroom, equipped with new fixtures and tastefully colored, luxury vinyl plank floors. Proceed down the hallway to find three generously sized bedrooms, perfect to accommodate a growing family . An additional stairwell provides access to the dry, partially insulated and ready to be finished attic space with the potential to create even more finished square footage.
As you head toward the rear house, you will see an industrial grade Lennox air conditioning compressor on your left, and a brand new oil tank that services the rear house. The lower right side of the rear house presently serves as a workshop, and could easily be converted into a garage, man cave, work shop, gym, or space for a contractor to operate out of. As you proceed inside you will find an entryway with several utility and storage closets, as well as the laundry room for the second dwelling. Make your way upstairs to the recently remodeled, spacious kitchen, also equipped with custom cabinets/built-ins/soft close drawers, and beautiful, expansive , white Corian countertops. This kitchen has brushed nickel hardware as well as newer white appliances that should last for many years to come. The floor in the kitchen and remodeled full bathroom are a tastefully colored vinyl, and the living room and both bedrooms have beautifully maintained real hardwood floors. There are newer ceiling fans in all the rooms, plenty of closet storage, and six panel doors to really accentuate the space. Lastly, as an added bonus, there is a wrought iron fire escape attached to the rear of the house for safety, but that could also be moved to create a separate second floor entrance. The possibilities are endless with this one, with such great proximity to major arterial highways the Philadelphia International Airport, this one won't last long--schedule your tour today before it's gone!
