Listing description

Investor Opportunity! Rare chance to restore and transform a historic Victorian in the heart of Ridley Park. Built in 1900, this architect-owned home offers the ideal combination of historic character, major structural improvements, and exceptional upside. Lovingly owned by the same family since 1978, the home was extensively rebuilt over several decades by an architect who spared no expense preserving its history while modernizing its infrastructure. Much of the expensive work has already been completed, including reinforced subflooring, new drywall and insulation, updated electrical service with a newer main panel, central air conditioning, a new HVAC system (2017), a newer roof, new front porch, composite rear porch, kitchen renovation, basement excavation with a new concrete floor and French drain system, a rear sunroom addition, and an enclosed third-floor widow's walk. Original architectural details remain beautifully preserved, including stunning American chestnut woodwork, stained glass windows, original front and rear staircases, a Victorian fireplace surround, oversized windows, soaring ceilings, and the original carriage step. The interior is now remodel-ready, providing a blank canvas for an investor, builder, or buyer with vision to complete a truly one-of-a-kind restoration. The current layout also offers the opportunity to immediately convert the home to four bedrooms, while the expansive third floor presents the potential to add two additional bedrooms and a full bath, creating a six-bedroom residence. Whether you're looking to renovate and resell or create your dream historic home, opportunities like this are increasingly rare. Historic homes with this level of preserved craftsmanship, completed structural improvements, and renovation potential seldom come to market. Bring your vision and unlock the incredible potential of this exceptional Ridley Park Victorian.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($309,780, 2021 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Delaware County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
