With easy access to Center City, Kelly Drive, and Route 76, commuting is effortless. Meticulously maintained and full of warmth and charm. Please note that a subdivision creating two separate lots is currently pending approval with the City of Philadelphia. The parcel included in this sale is Tax Map/Registry #125N150081, which will consist of the existing home and its newly created lot. The adjacent parcel #125N150100 is not included for rent and will remain separate as the landlord intends to construct a new attached home on that future lot. Prospective tenants should be aware that the adjacent lot will become an active construction site during this period. As a result, tenants may experience typical construction-related activity, including noise, contractors and equipment on-site, deliveries, and other temporary inconveniences associated with residential construction until the project is completed.
