About This Home
**As of 6:00 AM Thursday November 13, 2025 we are in receipt of 2 offers. The seller is asking for the highest and best offer by 5:00 PM Friday November 14, 2025.** Attention Investors & Developers! Rare opportunity in Carroll Park, West Philadelphia. This end-row property offers 3 bedrooms (with potential for a 4th), 1 bath, an attached garage, and a rooftop deck. The building requires major repairs, but comps suggest resale values exceeding $300,000. Comparable: 1412 N 55th St — similar square footage, fully renovated with 4 beds/3 baths, finished basement, sold for $302,000 in August. Note: that property lacked both a garage and rooftop deck, underscoring the upside here. Schedule your showing today. Caution: No active utilities; basement staircase is partially collapsed. Property is sold as-is, where-is.
