About this home
Set on a tree-lined street in Havertown's Paddock Farms neighborhood, this four-bedroom, two-bath cape puts residents within walking distance of the YMCA, Brick and Brew, Crossbar, and neighborhood staples like Havertown Day. The classic cape silhouette anchors the corner, a familiar profile for the block and a nod to the neighborhood's 1960s roots. Built in 1961 and offered at 1,302 square feet, the home is being sold as-is and priced to reflect its condition: this is a fixer-upper and handyman special, best suited to a buyer ready to update room by room or an investor eyeing the numbers. Four bedrooms and two full baths give the floor plan real flexibility once the work is done, and the original layout offers a foundation rather than a finished product. The home's good bones and structural potential are the real draw here: solid framing from a single owner era paired with room to reimagine the kitchen, baths, and finishes to modern taste. Buyers should plan for updates throughout, as no recent renovations are represented. Positioned in one of Havertown's most walkable pockets and priced for its as-is condition, 2540 Prescott Rd represents a rare entry point into Paddock Park for a buyer willing to do the work.
Havertown, located between Upper Darby and Radnor Township, is a residential and commuter-friendly Ardmore neighborhood with a classic Main Line-adjacent streetscape and a strong park-and-trail rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Eagle Road and Darby Road corridor, where corner pubs, longtime delis, and small storefronts set a steady, lived-in pace. Brick Colonials, stone Tudors, and mid-century splits line leafy blocks, with front-porch architecture that reads distinctly Delaware County. The Grange Estate anchors local history with open grounds and community programming. The Haverford Township Skatium and the Haverford Reserve add year-round recreation and wide-open views. SEPTA’s Norristown High Speed Line stations stitch the area to nearby town centers and Center City.
