    A Hidden Gem with Incredible Potential – 1706 Christian Street, Philadelphia Step into the vibrant heart of Philadelphia with this charming Victorian townhouse at 1706 Christian Street. Offering a prime location and timeless design, this bay-front, three-story home boasts an impressive 1,955 square feet of living space, featuring four spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The possibilities are endless with this property, especially for those with a keen eye for design and renovation! Zoned RM1, this property offers endless opportunities for transformation. Imagine creating your dream home, with the option to add a stunning rooftop deck from the third-floor rear bedroom—where you’ll be greeted with panoramic, breathtaking views of Philadelphia’s iconic skyline. The unfinished basement provides even more potential for extra storage or to expand your living space further. With the right vision, this home could easily reach a market value of over $900K once renovated! This is your chance to put your personal stamp on a piece of Philadelphia history. While the property does require a full renovation, the reward will be truly worth the effort. Please note, the property is sold “AS IS” and will not be in broom-swept condition at closing; all items left in the property will convey with the sale. Utilities are not currently on, so be sure to bring a flashlight for showings, and the buyer will be responsible for having them turned on. As a short sale, this home is subject to third-party approval, and the bank has not yet approved the sales price. All offers will be reviewed and approved by the bank, and responses may take some time—so patience is key! Buyers are encouraged to submit their best and final offers for consideration. For financed offers, please include a lender pre-approval letter, and for cash offers, a Proof of Funds (POF) will be required. Corporate buyers must submit a Corporate Resolution reflecting the authorized signer. The location couldn’t be better! Christian Street offers convenient access to Broad Street, SEPTA lines, schools, and some of the city’s top destinations, including Jefferson, Penn, and CHOP hospitals, as well as Center City’s world-class dining, shopping, and cultural icons. Everything you need is right at your doorstep! Showings will begin on Monday, April 14th, so don’t miss your chance to explore the potential this property holds. All showings, inspections, and appraisals must be scheduled through Showing Time, and agents are required to accompany buyers during showings. Please note the STRICT showing hours: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, seven days a week. Ready to make your mark on one of Philadelphia’s most sought-after neighborhoods?
