Here is an excellent opportunity to own a 3 bedroom, 2 full bath twin property with covered porch, excellent curb appeal and enclosed backyard for kids & pets to play! This semi-detached property is situated in the very desirable Carroll Park neighborhood! Located in West Philadelphia, Carroll Park is the sort of place where locals come together. The neighborhood’s motto is “Where neighbors become friends.” That community spirit can be seen in the colorful murals found on the sides of many homes. Carroll Park is unique from other neighborhoods in West Philly in that it has its own flavor. It has had more homeownership than most area neighborhoods. Homes in the neighborhood are almost exclusively traditional Philadelphia-style twin and row home properties built in the 1920s. Brick, stone and wood siding are common. Some homes have a hint of Victorian architectural touches. Most homes sit back from wide sidewalks. Many have front porches, small front yards and narrow backyards. Garages and driveways are uncommon, but there is plenty of on-street parking and not many parking restrictions. Recently renovated and updated homes can sell between $210,000 and $325,000. First-time homebuyers may be eligible for counseling services and financial assistance up to $10,000 through the Philly First Home Program. More information and images to follow. The property comes on market November 2, 2024!
