    What's special

    Full unfinished basementTree for shade
    The property at 405 W Penn Street in Philadelphia's Germantown neighborhood is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom rowhouse built in 1900. It offers approximately 1,326 square feet of living space, with a full, unfinished basement.. While the home is livable, it probably requires significant upgrades and your renovations. This home has a very large flat usable backyard with a tree for shade. Comparable properties in the area have sold for $280,000-$310,000, indicating potential for value appreciation post-renovation. If you're considering a full rehab, it's advisable to consult with local contractors to obtain accurate estimates for the necessary work.
