Here is the cutest little town home in Wissahickon. This property is an end of row in a highly desirable neighborhood. It is in true move-in condition. There is a nice front porch, a good sized living room which leads to a dining room off of the kitchen. There is a huge deck off the dining room for enjoying the tranquil setting of Fairmount Park. The basement is totally finished and can be used as a family room with a lovely patio leading to the large backyard. There is also a full bath in the basement so the space could be utilized as guest quarters or another bedroom. There are three nice sized bedrooms upstairs as well as a hall bathroom. The home is located in a very quiet section of Wissahickon and because it is an end of row is wider than all the other homes on the block. ALERT TWO CAR PARKING IN REAR. This is truly a gem that is priced for a quick sale. The home is priced for the owner occupant who knows a good deal when they see one or the investor who wants a strong investment.
