Property Description
Attention Investors & Developers! Rare opportunity in Carroll Park, West Philadelphia. This end-row property offers 3 bedrooms (with potential for a 4th), 1 bath, an attached garage, and a rooftop deck. The building requires major repairs, but comps suggest resale values exceeding $300,000. Comparable: 1412 N 55th St - similar square footage, fully renovated with 4 beds/3 baths, finished basement, sold for $302,000 in August. Note: that property lacked both a garage and rooftop deck, underscoring the upside here. Schedule your showing today. Caution: No active utilities; basement staircase is partially collapsed. Property is sold as-is, where-is.
