SHORT SALE, price subject to bank approval! Welcome to this charming 4-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom in the Fairhill section of Philadelphia. This property offers the perfect blend of modern updates and cozy living spaces, making it an excellent opportunity for the right buyer. The first floor features beautiful tiled floors throughout, with a spacious family room and dining area ideal for gatherings. A fully enclosed patio/foyer adds extra space for relaxation, while a bonus room provides versatility as a home office or potential 4th bedroom. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and a convenient door leading out to the backyard. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms with updated wood-laminate flooring and plenty of closet space. The full bathroom also offers modern fixtures and finishes on this level. The fully finished basement includes additional tiled floors and a bonus half-bathroom, but please note that there was a prior issue with a burst sewer pipe that flooded the basement. The city has since repaired the pipe, but evidence of water damage remains in certain areas of the basement. This home was fully renovated in 2022, featuring new central A/C and a new roof. Please note, this property is a short sale and is being sold as-is.
