INVESTOR ALERT — 24 HOURS NOTICE REQUIRED FOR ALL SHOWINGS. Six-bedroom, three-bathroom rowhome a short walk from Temple University's Main Campus and inside the Temple University Police patrol zone.

A private patio sits to the rear. Two of the six bedrooms are on the lower level, both drawn with window wells on the architect's plans; unit plans for all three floors are included in the offering memorandum. Built 1915 with no tax abatement — the 2026 tax bill of $2,883 is carried in full, so there is no step-up waiting for the next owner. Actual owner's operating statement available to qualified buyers.
