This historic Philadelphia home, listed on the Philadelphia Historic Registry, presents an exceptional opportunity for its next owner to make history. Spanning over 4,000 square feet and occupying just under 0.20 acres of land, this Temple University end unit asset offers remarkable potential. Restoring this home to its former grandeur or developing the expansive lot into a multi-unit student housing complex are both viable options. The home boasts high ceilings throughout, a spacious backyard, and ample interior living spaces. The surrounding North Philadelphia neighborhood is undergoing revitalization and provides excellent transit access and close proximity to downtown Philadelphia.
