Listing description

Opportunity in the Heart of the Temple University Area Welcome to 1340 Kings Place, a four-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home located in the heart of the Temple University area. This property offers a strong opportunity for a buyer, investor, or renovation-minded owner who can see the value in a home with solid potential and room to improve. The home features a traditional layout with four bedrooms, one full bathroom, one half bathroom, and a recreation room that leads directly to the rear yard. The property also includes a one-car garage and driveway, adding convenience and off-street parking value in the city. Located near downtown shopping, public transportation, and major neighborhood conveniences, this property places you close to many of the amenities buyers and tenants often look for in a city location. This home does need significant renovation and updates, but that is also where the opportunity comes in. Buyers who understand the market may recognize the potential to renovate and build value over time. Homes in improved condition in this area may offer substantially higher value potential, making this an attractive option for someone willing to invest the work. Whether you are looking for a renovation project, an investment opportunity, or a property to improve and hold, 1340 Kings Place offers location, layout, parking, and upside potential. Property is being sold in as-is condition. Buyer should conduct their own due diligence regarding condition, value, repairs, financing, and intended use.
