High-quality and affordable housing is here, perfect for a first-time home buyer. This property underwent a major renovation in 2020, including updated electrical and plumbing systems, a fully renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and new cabinetry, a new washer and dryer, and refreshed interior finishes throughout, all for under $185,000. With just 3.5% down, approximately $6,400 plus closing costs, and multiple Philadelphia city, lender, and grant programs available, owning this home may cost less than renting.
The property is currently tenant-occupied through July 31, 2026 at $1500/mo, giving you enough time to plan your purchase while interest rates trend downward. Located on a beautiful, quiet, tree-lined block on Edgley Street, the surrounding homes are well-maintained and uniquely painted, creating a charming residential feel. The home is just a 10-minute walk to Temple University and offers excellent access to public transportation. The 17th Street bus provides a direct route to Center City, SEPTA options are nearby, and grocery stores and corner shops are within a short drive.
The home features an open floor plan, a small backyard, one bedroom on the first floor, and three bedrooms with two full bathrooms on the second floor. A large basement offers generous storage and potential for future conversion into additional living space. This is a great opportunity to enter the Philadelphia real estate market and start building equity. Reach out to learn more!
