PRICE IMPROVEMENT. Ready to sell!! Property is now vacant!! Welcome to this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath end-unit in the heart of West Philadelphia! This spacious property has so much square footage and potential. Not only does the upstairs have it's own separate entrance (which could potentially offer Duplex possibilities with the right zoning), but the basement has also been framed out and plumbed-in and is ready to be finished to add additional square footage (and possibly a 3rd unit). The layout and extra square footage of 5849 Ludlow street make it a prime candidate for a single family home for a large family, or to be separated into multi-units as a value-add investment for the sharp investor. And all of this for under $200K! Enjoy modern living with recent updates throughout, plus a full basement offering plenty of storage or additional living potential. The backyard boasts an updated garage/storage area and a charming garden space — ideal for outdoor relaxation or urban gardening. For those looking to make it their own, it also qualifies for multiple first-time home buyer grants, making ownership more affordable than ever. Whether you're an investor seeking strong returns or a first-time buyer searching for your new home, this property checks all the boxes. Don’t wait — this one won’t last long! Schedule your private tour today!
