Property Description
This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 1-bath home is tucked away on one of University City's quiet residential blocks-a peaceful street that feels removed from the surrounding energy while placing you in one of Philadelphia's most convenient locations. Just steps from Saint Joseph's University (University City campus), Clark Park, and the SEPTA Green Line trolley, you'll enjoy easy access to Center City while coming home to the charm of a quiet neighborhood. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated throughout with a renovated kitchen and bathroom, new flooring, fresh paint, and window air conditioning units, creating a bright, move-in-ready living space. In addition to the cosmetic updates, the home's major systems have been well maintained, including a roof replaced within the last 10 years, providing added confidence and peace of mind. The full, dry unfinished basement offers abundant storage and utility space, while the covered front porch and private rear yard provide inviting spaces to relax or entertain. The location is exceptionally versatile. Whether you're commuting to Center City, working at one of University City's renowned hospitals, attending one of the area's leading universities, or looking for convenient access to I-76, public transportation, neighborhood dining, shopping, and parks, everything is just minutes away. It's a rare combination of quiet residential living and exceptional urban convenience. Whether you're searching for your next home or a turnkey investment property, this home delivers. Previously operated as a furnished rental for traveling medical professionals, it generated over $3,000 per month, demonstrating its strong income potential and appeal to medical professionals, graduate students, university affiliates, and long-term tenants alike. Virtually staged photos of the living room and rear patio are included alongside the original, unedited photos.
