INVESTOR SPECIAL, DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS ONE!!! Solid little property, perfect for the section 8 investor or flipper. Located on a quiet mixed-use block of Lancaster Ave, that abuts plenty of blocks with new construction nearby. Lancaster Ave. is a commerical hub, close to all kinds of shopping, with a trolley line running right past this property. This property is perfectly dry as a new roof was put on approximately 7 years ago. Any holes in the walls/or ceiling are from a break in, so anything copper such as plumbing & wiring may have to be replaced. There is also no heat source we are aware of. However, the structure itself has remained dry & has very solid bones. This was originally listed as 827 Square Ft. in the tax records, but estimated measurements put it at 1169!!! Add a 3rd bedroom in the back first floor by the second bathroom to squeeze more money from your section 8 rental, you can't go wrong. SELLING AS IS/WHERE IS!!!
