The Location

Outdoor Paradise: Just minutes from the scenic trails of Wissahickon Valley Park and the green spaces of Gorgas Park.
Dining & Shopping: Walkable to the vibrant Ridge Avenue corridor, home to local favorites like New Ridge Brewing Co., White Yak, and the legendary cheesesteak rivalry between Dalessandro's and Chubby's.
Commuter's Dream: Easy access to Kelly Drive, I-76, and the Ivy Ridge SEPTA Regional Rail station for a quick ride into Center City or out to the suburbs.
Investment Potential
This home is being sold as-is, allowing you to skip the "flip" premium and invest your budget exactly where you want it. With renovated homes in the immediate area seeing strong appreciation, this is a strategic opportunity to move into one of Philly's safest and most stable neighborhoods at an accessible price point.
