Great fixer-upper opportunity in South Philly near St. Monica Church. This incredible neighborhood has bakeries, shops, cafes, and restaurants all around. This property was recently used as a short-term rental and grossed $34,000 a year renting by the bedroom. Just needs some paint and final touch ups to be move-in ready. Cash transaction is preferred but hard money or conventional mortgage accepted under certain circumstances. Two blocks from Broad St and mass transit. Don't miss your chance to own this incredible home! Video tours available in the MLS (click the video icon).
