Property Description

5521 Spruce St is a spacious 4 bed, 2 bath corner property renovated top to bottom in 2019, offering a bright layout and great potential for its next owner. The main level features an open living and dining area with recessed lighting and a functional kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances and ample cabinetry. Upstairs includes well-sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Please note: the kitchen and flooring, particularly on the upper level, show wear and offer an opportunity for cosmetic updating to add value. The large unfinished basement provides excellent storage and room for future customization. Currently tenant occupied but will be delivered vacant, giving buyers flexibility to move in or lease at market rent. Enjoy being just minutes from Baltimore Ave favorites like Bookers Restaurant & Bar, Dock Street Brewery, Vientiane Café, and Mariposa Food Co-op, plus nearby parks including Clark Park and Cedar Park. Easy access to trolley lines, UPenn, Drexel, and Center City makes this a convenient and well-located investment. Schedule your showing today. **Property will be delivered vacant before the settlement. Photos are taken before the move-in of the tenants**
