Welcome to this spacious home offering 5 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms in the heart of the Temple University neighborhood. The layout gives you flexibility for everyday living, guests, or a home office. The first floor opens to a generous living room, a welcoming space for relaxing, hosting, and gathering with family and friends. This level also features a bedroom and a full bathroom with a convenient shower and tub combination. The kitchen comes equipped with an electric oven and range, a refrigerator, and a microwave, and a door leads straight to the private backyard. It is a natural spot for morning coffee, grilling, or entertaining. Upstairs, the second floor offers four generous bedrooms and a second full bathroom with a shower stall. Having this many bedrooms together makes the space work well for a larger household, roommates, or flexible work from home space. Additional living space in the basement includes a second living area, a laundry room with a washer and dryer, and a bonus room that can serve as a home office, gaming room, or extra storage. Peace of mind comes with a brand new roof backed by a 10 year warranty. The location is part of the appeal. Fairmount Park, the Philadelphia Zoo, the Art Museum, and the dining and nightlife along Girard Avenue are all close by, and the SEPTA G trolley along Girard Avenue and nearby transit make getting to Center City easy. The property is currently vacant and offers strong potential for investors or those seeking a spacious home near campus.
