MOVE-IN READY !!!! Excellent location, university city, just half a block from the EL train, 52nd street shopping strip, Market line, Walnut line and Chestnut line transportations. This 3 bedroom traditional style row home has already had the main roof replaced and insulated a couple of years ago, brand new basic bathroom installed with a new skylight, as well as brand new bedroom insulated ceilings with ceiling fans. We just installed a basic kitchen, a brand new laminate flooring in the kitchen and dining area and carpet throughout the rest of the house as well as a fresh coat of paint. You can call this anything such as a starter home, a first time home buyer, a handyman special, a turn-key rental, or anything else you like. It does not need anything but of course you can add updates and improvements based on your taste and likes. This house is priced very reasonably based on the general housing market situation, the current mortgage interest rates, the excellent prime location, and the house's condition, take advantage of this opportunity for a great purchase deal.
