Ideally situated near public transportation (31, 40, 41, and 43 bus routes, T1 trolley, and 30th Street Station), the home is minutes from the Lancaster Avenue corridor, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, and within one mile of the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University. With its solid condition, functional layout, and desirable location, this property offers both comfortable owner occupancy and long term investment potential.
