Property Description
Welcome to the 5200 block of Florence Street! Located on a wide, porch-lined street with ample parking, this home offers a great opportunity for a buyer looking to renovate and make it their own. Conveniently located near major highways and public transportation, the property provides easy access to Center City, schools, universities, museums, entertainment, and all that Philadelphia has to offer. Beautiful Cobbs Creek Park is also nearby, offering plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
