Welcome to 283 Rochelle Ave, a home that can be used as a single family or in law suite/air Bnb/ or rental which is now available on a lovely tree-lined street in Wissahickon, overlooking the popular Wissahickon Park/Trails and only 3 blocks from the SEPTA Wissahickon station heading into Center City Philadelphia! Boasting 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 3-car off-street parking; this corner property sits on a massive lot, approx. 4,500 sq ft. Savy home owners can technically subdivide the land into 2 or 3 parcels by right. A subdivision in the rear would yield a new lot that could be sold for upwards of 125k! Entering the home, you'll be welcomed by a lovely front porch, ushering you into the living room, where you'll find original wood detailing and hardwood floors throughout the home. Passing through the spacious dining room and past the kitchen, you'll find a full bedroom and bathroom. Moving downstairs, you'll find a large unfinished basement with storage and laundry, while in the opposite direction on the 2nd floor, you'll find another full bedroom and bathroom. Bedrooms 3 and 4 and bathroom 3 round out the 3rd floor with a door leading the what could be a roof top deck. The in-law suite/air Bnb/rental unit previously rented for $950/month enters from the house's side and goes upstairs to the second floor, where it holds a kitchen, living room, pantry closet, laundry, full bedroom, and full bathroom! This home also features a large side yard AND rear yard where parking is located along with a deck off of the dining room overlooking Wissahickon Park. Also within walking distance are the Wissahickon SEPTA station, Fine Wine & Good Spirits, Regal Theatre, CVS, and Terrace St Bakery! This one won't last long, so schedule your tour today!
