About This Home

This 1947 detached bungalow offers approximately 1,030 square feet above grade with a full basement on a 40x100 lot — and it is ready for a full-scale transformation. Live in Ridley Park while you update your dream home. Bring your contractor, your vision, and your numbers. The layout currently includes two bedrooms and one full bath on the main level, with a powder room in the basement. Public water, public sewer, natural gas heat, and central air are already in place. The structure is stucco exterior with a traditional ranch footprint, providing a clean starting point for a cosmetic renovation or more comprehensive redesign. Located in Ridley Park Borough with strong commuter access to I-95, I-476, Philadelphia International Airport, and SEPTA regional rail, the resale fundamentals are solid. Whether you're looking to renovate and resell, renovate and rent, or reconfigure for higher utility, this is a value-add project in an established neighborhood with consistent buyer demand. Property is being sold in as-is condition. Buyers responsible for any township requirements. Cash, hard money, or renovation financing preferred.

The most popular ice cream flavor is vanilla. When Alec worked at Holsteins (where the final scene of The Sopranos was shot) he had three tubs of vanilla, two of chocolate, and just one of every other flavor. Vanilla is easy to sell. When it comes to Real Estate most Realtors can sell vanilla, but it takes a special agent to sell cherry vanilla or rum raisin, and a superhero to sell rocky road. This is Alec, Team Leader, Broker, and Founder of the A-Team Home Heroes.
