Whether you’re a savvy investor or a buyer looking to customize your dream home, this property offers the "good bones" and classic layout you've been searching for.

The primary bedroom offers plenty of closet space, and a bonus room currently being used as a craft/office while the second bedroom is perfect for a guest room or nursery. A full hallway bathroom is ready for your personal touch.
Basement: A full, partially finished basement provides excellent storage or the potential for even more finished living space in the future with a half bath!
The Location
Living in Roxborough means having the best of both worlds: a small-town community feel with big-city accessibility.
Outdoor Paradise: Just minutes from the scenic trails of Wissahickon Valley Park and the green spaces of Gorgas Park.
Dining & Shopping: Walkable to the vibrant Ridge Avenue corridor, home to local favorites like New Ridge Brewing Co., White Yak, and the legendary cheesesteak rivalry between Dalessandro’s and Chubby’s.
Commuter’s Dream: Easy access to Kelly Drive, I-76, and the Ivy Ridge SEPTA Regional Rail station for a quick ride into Center City or out to the suburbs.
Investment Potential
This home is being sold as-is, allowing you to skip the "flip" premium and invest your budget exactly where you want it. With renovated homes in the immediate area seeing strong appreciation, this is a strategic opportunity to move into one of Philly's safest and most stable neighborhoods at an accessible price point.
Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of 19128!
