Description
Excellent opportunity for a cash investor or First-time Homebuyer (using a renovation loan) to restore this classic home in the heart of Fishtown. Set back from the street, this home has a front yard and a rear patio. The closed-in front porch space would make a perfect drop zone or, if styled correctly, a fantastic reading nook, childrens playspace, or room for your plants or kitty cats to go wild! Inside the main home, you have a spacious living room and a separate dining room with original wood floors, fireplace mantel, and banister. Three of the homes six rooms have a ceiling fan, even though the home has central air! Beyond the dining room is the kitchen that could be renovated with a similar layout OR, hear me out, MAYBE you create a large eat-in-kitchen in the dining room, add sliding glass doors on the back of the house to the yard, install a half bath & laundry closet in the far corner and use the rest of the space for a breakfast room that overlooks the rear patio! Upstairs, you have a large front bedroom and a smaller room that you cross through to get to the bathroom. You could relocate the bathroom along the wall and make it accessible from the hall, or if you are feeling adventurous, add a 3rd story to increase the bedroom/bathroom count to 3/2.5. If you still need more space, the unfinished basement is ideal to finish. The ceiling height is rather tall, and the mechanicals are located out of the way, leaving plenty of space for 2 usable rooms- one for play and one for storage. There is a wide range of possibilities (and built-in equity) for this home; the choice is in your hands. Visit the home today and get your next project started before 2025!
