    What's special

    Investor, builder or developer opportunity on a two-way cul-de-sac in Philadelphia. 2537 Alter Street is a two-story property that has been vacant and unmaintained for several years and requires a complete rehabilitation. The property may also offer redevelopment potential, subject to the buyer's independent evaluation, zoning and City approvals. Adjoining property **2535 Alter Street (MLS #PAPH2666166) is also being offered for sale separately**, creating an opportunity to acquire two contiguous parcels. Immediately adjacent to the properties are four lots owned by the Central Club for Boys and Girls that were previously used as a community garden. These lots are NOT included in this sale. Property is being sold strictly AS-IS. Seller makes no representations regarding the condition of the structure, systems or contents. **ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK.** Buyers and agents should exercise extreme caution when entering the property and conduct all appropriate due diligence. Bring your contractor, architect, expeditor and builder! The open house is the ONLY opportunity to see this property.
