Listing description

Welcome to the 5200 block of Florence Street! Located on a wide, porch-lined street with ample parking, this home offers a great opportunity for a buyer looking to renovate and make it their own. Conveniently located near major highways and public transportation, the property provides easy access to Center City, schools, universities, museums, entertainment, and all that Philadelphia has to offer. Beautiful Cobbs Creek Park is also nearby, offering plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. This home has great bones, original character, and plenty of potential, but is in need of repairs and TLC. Step inside the first floor and you'll immediately notice the charming woodwork, spacious rooms, and high ceilings. The main level features a formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, and access to a nicely sized rear yard. One of the home's more unique features is a rare second staircase located off the kitchen, adding to its traditional character and charm. The second floor offers three generously sized bedrooms and a three-piece hall bath. Bring your imagination and your tool belt! Whether you're an investor, renovator, or buyer looking to create a home of your own, this property offers an exciting opportunity to restore and customize a classic Philadelphia rowhome. Property is being sold strictly AS-IS.
