CALLING ALL INVESTORS, BUILDERS & RENOVATORS—THE PRICE IS RIGHT! This is the project you've been looking for in Roxborough. A substantial renovation, yes—but one with the space, character, layout and oversized backyard to make the transformation worthwhile. From its distinctive stone façade and large covered front porch to its generous room sizes and wonderful original architectural details, this home is just waiting to be restored. Step inside to a spacious living room with stone fireplace, hardwood floors and an impressive grand staircase with beautiful original woodwork. The first floor offers great flow to a generously sized den, eat-in kitchen, powder room and mudroom, with both front and rear access to the second floor. Upstairs you'll find generously sized bedrooms, two full baths, plenty of windows and more of the home's original character. The basement offers both interior and Bilco door access. Out back, you'll discover a huge, deep rear yard with overgrown landscaping and remnants of a former detached garage—an impressive amount of outdoor space with plenty of possibilities. Make no mistake—this is a major renovation project and needs extensive work inside and out. But look beyond the condition and you'll see what makes this property special: original woodwork, hardwood floors, fireplace, generous rooms, a great floor plan, old-world charm and an expansive backyard. For the right buyer, the potential is substantial—restore, reimagine and return this home to its original glory. Property is being sold strictly AS-IS. Seller will make no repairs. Buyer is responsible for the Philadelphia U&O. If owner-occupied as a primary residence, taxes are approximately $5,214 with the Homestead Exemption, or $4,597 for qualifying low-income owners. Buyer must verify eligibility and amounts.
