Welcome to 12215 Sweetbriar Road, an opportunity to restore, renovate, and reimagine a spacious 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath, traditional brick rowhome in the heart of Parkwood. Whether you’re an investor, contractor, or owner occupant looking to build sweat equity, this home offers the kind of potential that is becoming harder to find in Northeast Philly. Inside, you’ll find a traditional layout featuring a spacious living room, with a built-in wall air conditioning unit, an expanded eat-in kitchen with abundant cabinet space, three bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and lower-level living/storage space with garage access. Several important improvements have already been completed over the years, including Pella windows, recently installed Rheem hot water tank (2025), and a newer hot air heat furnace, helping provide a head start for the next owner’s vision, although the home is being sold strictly “as-is”. The Seller will only remove items they choose to take and the property will not be delivered empty or broom swept clean. Conveniently located near Philadelphia Mills for shopping and dining, Benjamin Rush State Park for walking trails and outdoor recreation, and Junod Playground for neighborhood enjoyment, this location continues to be popular for its convenience and accessibility throughout Northeast Philly. Opportunity is knocking on Sweetbriar Road. Buyer is responsible for obtaining any required City of Philadelphia U & O/Resale Certificate, along with any costs involved.

Residential Single-Family Attached-4 District
The RSA, Residential Single-Family Attached districts are primarily intended to accommodate attached and semi-detached houses on individual lots, but may be applied in areas characterized by a mix of housing types, including detached houses. The districts are also intended to provide a density transition between RSD districts and RM districts. The Zoning Code includes five RSA districts that are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements.
