Discover the hidden potential at 8562 Benton Ave, a charming twin home nestled in the heart of Philadelphia . This is a unique opportunity to craft your dream home from the ground up, where original features meet endless possibilities. Imagine peeling back the old carpet to reveal the stunning, untouched original oak hardwood floors beneath! These floors are a testament to the home's enduring quality and await your personal touch to bring them back to their former glory. Surrounded by a serene and established neighborhood, you'll be greeted by a magnificent, mature maple tree providing shade and a picturesque backdrop to your new abode.
