Property Description
An exceptional opportunity for homeowners and investors alike -- offering two separate parcels with outstanding long-term potential. Welcome to 8855 and 8857 Winchester Avenue. 8855 is a well-maintained corner twin property in Northeast Philadelphia, and being sold together with an adjacent separately deeded lot at 8857 Winchester Avenue (Parcel #562000009.) Opportunities to acquire two individual lots in this location are extremely rare, making this property uniquely positioned for both immediate enjoyment and future value. The primary residence at 8855 Winchester Avenue features a bright and inviting living room with views of Pennypack Park, dedicated dining area, and a beautifully updated kitchen with ample cabinet space including a Lazy Susan. The main level offers three generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. The lower level provides additional bonus living space, a convenient half bath that could easily be expanded into a full bath, laundry area, abundant storage, a cedar closet, built-in shelving, and direct access to both the yard and the garage. Freshly repainted throughout, the home is truly move-in ready. The adjacent lot at 8857 Winchester Avenue is substantially larger and presents significant value on its own. The parcel offers multiple possibilities for a future owner -- whether as an expanded private yard, a hold-and-sell investment, or a potential development opportunity. The Seller had previously planned to develop the lot, but due to life changes is no longer able to pursue the project -- creating a rare chance for the next owner to realize its potential. Any future development or change of use is subject to City of Philadelphia approvals, and Buyer due diligence. Whether you are seeking a comfortable home with an oversized yard, a long-term investment, or the opportunity to own two separate lots in Northeast Philadelphia, this is a property that offers flexibility, value, and upside -- an offering that truly does not come along often."
