Property Description
Welcome to this stunning Victorian triplex in the heart of Roxborough, offering timeless architectural charm, thoughtful updates, and strong investment potential. Sitting on a deep lot, spanning approximately 2,964 square feet of living space, this historically designated property showcases original architectural details and classic craftsmanship rarely found today - including a distinctive mansard roof, beautiful stained-glass windows, wrought iron fencing, and a welcoming covered front porch with Trex decking. Lovingly maintained over 30 years of ownership, the home reflects pride of care throughout. The first-floor unit, with 10' ceiling height, features 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. The second and third-floor units each offer 1 bedroom and 1 full bath - ideal for maximizing rental income or accommodating an owner-occupant seeking supplemental income. Recent improvements provide peace of mind and modern comfort, including: new kitchen and bath in the third-floor unit (2020), new flooring and carpeting (2020), new appliances in all units (2020-2022), and a new roof (2022). An unfinished basement offers ample storage space and convenient utility access. Perfectly positioned, the property is just minutes from local favorites like Bob's Diner, Flying Sowth Coffee, White Yak Restaurant, and the iconic Dalessandro's Steaks. Fitness and daily conveniences are nearby, including Planet Fitness, CVS and Target. The home also enjoys close proximity to Thomas Jefferson University and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM), making it especially attractive for student and faculty rental demand. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate easy access to the scenic trails and natural beauty of Wissahickon Valley Park, as well as Gorgas Park. Whether you're an investor seeking a well-maintained, income-producing property or an owner-occupant looking for character, versatility, and long-term value, this rare Victorian triplex presents an exceptional opportunity in one of Roxborough's most desirable and convenient locations.
