Rare Northeast Philadelphia land redevelopment opportunity at 3201 Chesterfield Road, Philadelphia, PA 19114. Offered at $3,000,000. The proposed sale area includes the former two-story convent building, baseball field, and surrounding land area to be subdivided from the larger parent parcel. The church, school, and other retained property are not included in the proposed sale. The full parent parcel is approximately 12.0107 acres per public record. The proposed sale area is estimated at approximately 4.25 acres based on preliminary walked-off dimensions and is subject to final survey, subdivision, legal description, zoning review, engineering review, City approvals, and seller approval. This site offers a substantial land footprint in an established RSA-3 (2250 sqft lot size) residential area with the possibility for a townhouse, residential infill, senior housing, or other redevelopment concept, subject to all required approvals. Nearby redevelopment activity, including the 3600 Grant Ave residential project, supports the strength of new-construction demand in the immediate market. Developers and buyers are responsible for conducting their own due diligence regarding zoning, density, subdivision, access, utilities, stormwater, demolition, environmental conditions, title, approvals, and overall feasibility. Final boundaries, acreage, permitted use, and development yield are not guaranteed and must be independently verified.
Morrell Park, located between Pennypack Park and the Delaware River, is a residential and waterfront Philadelphia neighborhood with rowhouse blocks and riverside industry. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Morrell Avenue and State Road corridor, where corner delis, auto shops, and longtime takeout counters set a practical, workday rhythm. Pennypack Park’s trails and creek crossings shape the outdoor edge, while State Road reads as a straight-shot spine of warehouses and small businesses. Housing leans toward mid-century brick rows with tidy stoops and compact yards. The riverfront adds big-sky views and a freight-rail backdrop that keeps the setting distinctly Northeast Philly.
