Description

3 Story Victorian Home, but it's actually Zoned as a Two Family Duplex. However, the Buyer may want to use the property as a single family residence because of the size and floor plan. There are two stair cases to the second floor both with inside first floor access. All you would have to do is remove the entrance foyer door for normal single family use. The most previous owner used it as a single family residence with separate living quarters. One of the first floor bedrooms can be converted back to the dining room, and the other first floor bedroom can be used as a family room den, or even an office/study. If you don't mind a second kitchen on the second floor, it really makes sense to consider this a one family residence. There are two full bathrooms, one on the first floor and one on the second floor. The second floor has 3 bedrooms, and the 3rd floor has 3 more rooms, but they need some work. There's a one car detached garage, and a private driveway for at least 2 vehicles. The basement is large and clean and the utilities are updated with a gas heater at 3 years old, and the gas hot water heater at less than a year old. There's also updated vinyl windows, and the home exudes so much charm and character. It's located in the Historic District, and just down the street from the Ridley Middle School. Great location and convenient to everything that the charming town of Ridley Park has to offer. Quick and easy access to I-95, and only minutes to the Airport, and Sport's Stadiums and Arenas. The property needs updating, but worth the sweat equity in this location and square footage, but priced accordingly. Good bones, charm and character, and great neighborhood. Welcome Home to Many Years of Happy Memories. This home has been in the same family since 1956.
