Listing description
Outstanding value with this classic Roxborough airlite with off-street parking! Literally a 2 minute walk to the trail entrance of beautiful Fairmount Park/Forbidden Drive. The main floor of this home features a formal living room, dining room, and kitchen. Upstairs are 3 spacious bedrooms and a full bath. The basement is finished into a bonus room with a laundry area. The back yard and front porch provide ample outdoor space. Plenty of off-street parking with your attached garage and driveway. This home is conveniently located within minutes to the shopping and dining of Ridge Avenue and Main Street Manayunk, all public transportation, and highway entrances. Why so cheap? This home is in good shape structurally and mechanically but needs cosmetic renovation throughout and is being sold strictly As-Is. Inspections are welcomed but the Seller will do no repairs as the price reflects the condition. A home in Roxborough with off-street parking for well under $300K is a rare find these days. Priced To Sell!
