Investors! Craftspeople! This sprawling Kingsessing Victorian is begging to be restored to its former glory. With stunning high ceilings, original inlaid hardwood, and southern exposure, the bones are beautiful. The front of the property has a large porch and a garden. While entering the home, you'l...l encounter original doors and tile work. The first floor has a spacious front parlor and grand staircase, dining room and kitchen with a half bath. Off the kitchen is a sunny rear yard, ideal for growing veggies, gardening, composting and more. The second floor boasts three bedrooms and a full bath. The front bedroom is enormous, with a decorative fireplace, bay windows, and original double doors. Down the hall are two additional bedrooms plus a hidden rear staircase that could be reopened to provide a second point of entry to this level. Formerly a triplex - but currently a single family home - the third floor of the property has a second kitchen, a sitting room, a full bath, and bedrooms 4 and 5. This living space could be ideal for an owner wanting to have roommates or an air bnb rental for added passive income, an in-law or au pair suite, and more. Or it could be converted to a full primary suite with en suite bath and wet bar. Finally, on the 4th floor there is a finished attic with a 6th bedroom and an unfinished rear room that could be converted to a 7th bedroom. The owner made improvements this spring including electrical work (grounding all outlets), partially parging basement, installing a new chimney liner on rear chimney, roof repair, and installing a new sewer stack to the 2nd floor and PVC piping in the basement. With the #13 trolley, Media/Elwyn rail line, and major bus routes all nearby, and a short drive to Penn and Drexel, this location is beyond convenient. Schedule to tour this diamond in the rough today!
