Listing description

Some homes have character you just can't manufacture — and this Roxborough twin is one of them. A handsome Pennsylvania stone façade and a welcoming covered front porch set the tone from the moment you arrive. Inside, three bedrooms and a full bath offer comfortable, classic Philadelphia living. But the real surprise is out back. A generous lot opens up to a large private yard — perfect for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors away from it all. A detached two-car garage and additional off-street parking round out a backyard setup that most city homeowners can only dream about. The home is ready for a new owner to come in and make it their own. Complete updating is needed throughout, which is reflected in the asking price. Close to the Wissahickon Valley trails, neighborhood dining and shops, and easy access to Center City via SEPTA or I-76. Sold as-is. ***Block party 6/20/26, access from Ridge Ave and park in municipal parking lot. Walk to property.***
