Property Description
The property at 405 W Penn Street in Philadelphia's Germantown neighborhood is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom rowhouse built in 1900. It offers approximately 1,326 square feet of living space, with a full, unfinished basement.. While the home is livable, it probably requires significant upgrades and your renovations. This home has a very large flat usable backyard with a tree for shade. Comparable properties in the area have sold for $280,000-$310,000, indicating potential for value appreciation post-renovation.
