Property Description
Proudly presenting for the first time 12209 Thornton Rd-an incredible opportunity to own a charming single-family home with a detached garage and private fenced-in backyard in Philadelphia. Step inside to a light-filled interior, where a spacious bay window in the living room brings in abundant natural light and adds warmth and character to the space. The home features 3 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, with a comfortable layout and a convenient laundry area all located on the main level. While the home is ready for your personal style and cosmetic updates, many major improvements have already been handled. Recent upgrades include a brand-new HVAC system, new roof, and completed termite treatment. To add even more value, the seller is offering a 1 year HSA home warranty. The unfinished basement has been mold remediated and waterproofed, providing a clean, solid foundation for the next owner to make it their own. With over 600 additional square feet, there's plenty of room to finish it into usable living space, and it is already equipped for the future addition of a second bathroom. Whether you're a buyer looking to customize a home to your style or an investor seeking your next project, this property is full of opportunity and ready for its next chapter. Property is being sold in as-is condition.
