This is an incredible opportunity for residents looking to take advantage of the PENN ALEXANDER CATCHMENT. This is a very large home in need of a few repairs but very inhabitable. The home has spectacular curb appeal, is located on a green tree lined block, and is a perfect location in West Philadelphia, convenient to all the great things that the universities bring to the neighborhood and to the vibrant life style that comes with enjoying the shops and restaurants on Baltimore Ave as well as the benefits of being in close proximity to lively Clark Park and all its festivals and recreation.
