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.

How insights can help you

Interest rate

If the seller has a low interest rate, they may be tempted to rent the property out if they can't get the price they have in mind.

Motivation

If the seller already got a job in a different city, they may feel pressure to sell quickly to free up cash for a new home.

Equity

If the seller stands to receive a large amount of cash when they sell the property, they might be willing to negotiate on the offer price.
