Beautiful right sized 4BR twin home on a lovely tree lined street rests on a tranquil parcel of over 5000 SF. The property is situated near everything City Ave has to offer; the stores, St. Joseph's University, and access to the expressway. Midway between center city and the near suburbs, the location is especially lovely. A city address with a suburban feel. Inside, the property has a good layout. The kitchen has stainless steel applicances, and natural stone countertops. The original hardwood floors, are still in place and can be restored. There is a lovely sun room in front, with a nice size living room with gas fireplace, dining room and small breakfast room off of the kitchen. The central stair navigates to three bedrooms and a master bedroom with bath featuring a tile shower. The lower level has a two car garage and a basement which has a separate entry door. This property needs some repairs but there is sweat equity here. The interested prospect for this property, will be ready to undertake the process of performing the upgrades necessary to restore this jewel and gain long term value.
