The right time, the right opportunity. Here is a completely renovated 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Philadelphia rowhome with a deep rear yard. Owned by the same family since the 1970s, this home has been thoughtfully transformed while retaining it’s practicality and character. Whether you are an owner occupier or investor, this home is a GREAT value. The renovation is extensive, offering a move-in-ready home without the projects and uncertainty that often come with an older city property. The updated interior provides comfortable living spaces, three bedrooms, and the addition of a convenient half bath. The deep backyard is a standout feature, offering valuable and useful private outdoor space for entertaining, gardening, pets, or simply enjoying a little breathing room in the city. Another particularly useful feature is the direct entrance to the basement from the front of the house, providing easy access for storage, bikes, tools, or just everyday city living. Situated in East Kensington, the property is part of a neighborhood that is seeing continued residential investment, new businesses, and infrastructure improvements. Lehigh Avenue itself is the focus of ongoing City planning and safety improvements, while the surrounding East Kensington/Fishtown area continues to attract new restaurants, cafés, and residential development. For buyers looking for a move-in-ready Philadelphia home with no projects, already nicely renovated, great outdoor space, and the opportunity to be part of a neighborhood on the path forward, this one is worth a serious look.
