Property Description

Opportunity awaits at 1255 S Ruby Street in Philadelphia's Kingsessing neighborhood. This partially renovated property offers investors, contractors, and owner-occupants the chance to complete a project already well underway. Originally configured as a 2-bedroom home, the property has been redesigned to accommodate a 3-bedroom layout, including a first-floor bedroom. Renovation work completed includes substantial interior demolition, framing, new plumbing for the second-floor bathroom, installation of a new bathtub and drain lines, and expansion of the basement stair opening to accommodate standard-size furniture. A standout feature is the spacious basement with substantial ceiling height, offering excellent potential for additional finished living space. Conveniently located near University City, UPenn, Drexel University, public transportation, shopping, dining, parks, and major employment centers. Additional features include an enclosed front porch, concrete front yard, and concrete rear yard. Whether you're seeking your next renovation project, investment property, or future residence, this property presents an excellent opportunity in a rapidly developing area. Easy to show. Seller is a licensed Pennsylvania real estate agent. Terms negotiable.
