Featuring a classic front porch, a generous footprint (approx. 2,736 sq. ft.), a 25x150 backyard accessible by car, this property is tailor-made for an investor ready to capture major upside with 2 possible high yield investment visions: Vision 1: The Multi-Family Conversion (Cash-Flow Powerhouse). Positioned in a Just minutes away from Saint Joseph’s University campuses, making it an ideal off-campus housing target for students, faculty, or staff.
