Completely renovated from top to bottom, this stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect blend of modern finishes and an unbeatable location. Taken down to the studs and thoughtfully rebuilt, this full-gut renovation features all-new HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and high-quality finishes throughout. The open-concept main level is designed for today's lifestyle, while the finished walkout basement provides valuable additional living space for a family room, home office, or gym. Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered front porch or unwind on the rear deck overlooking Fairmount Park, where the peaceful, treehouse-like setting creates a truly unique outdoor retreat. Additional highlights include off-street parking, a private rear yard, and a location that's hard to beat—just moments from the Wissahickon Train Station, the scenic Wissahickon Valley trails, and Wissahickon Creek, with easy access to Center City, Manayunk, and all the outdoor recreation the area has to offer. This is a rare opportunity to own a like-new home in one of Philadelphia's most desirable neighborhoods.

Welcome to 258 Rochelle Ave, an airlite home on one of the most desirable, tree-lined streets in Roxborough! This home has been in the same family for 43 years and is waiting for its next owner and its next upgrade. It features an open floor plan, with a large living room that leads directly into the dining room/kitchen. A back door leads to a deck that currently requires full rebuilding, yet shows the future potential of relaxing and overlooking the woods of Fairmount Park directly beyond. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, the front being the largest, and two smaller bedrooms, and a full bath. Downstairs is a finished basement with living space, a half bath, and an entrance to the backyard which also features OFF STREET PARKING. Walk out the front door and less than a half mile to the R6 Wissahickon train station, the 27, 9, and just a little further down, the Wissahickon transfer center. Steps away are multiple trail access points to Fairmount Park. This home is in the Cook Wissahickon School catchment, and is a short . 4 mile walk away, with multiple crossing guards along the route. Main Street Manayunk and the Ridge Avenue commercial corridor are also a short walk away. Pictures coming soon. Home is in need of repair and renovation, and is being sold strictly as is.
