Great investment opportunity in Kingsessing! This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is conveniently located near the University of the Sciences and UPenn, offering excellent rental and resale potential. Situated on a 15 x 50 lot, this property has a project already started—ready for the next owner to finish with ease.
The home offers a clean slate with significant prep work completed: the basement walls and floors have been plastered and painted, ceiling tiles have been replaced with freshly painted tracks, carpets and blinds have been removed, and the heating system is strong with a newer hot water tank in place. A new stove (2022) has already been installed.
To complete the project, add a kitchen and refrigerator, install flooring, paint, and update or refinish the existing tub and surround. This is a simple finish-out ideal for investors looking to hold, flip, or utilize FHA 203(k) renovation financing.
Additional features include an enclosed front porch, full basement, concrete front yard, and concrete rear yard.
Note: The LLC that owns this property has two members who hold active real estate licenses in PA and NJ.
