Spacious 3-bedroom residence in Essex House offering incredible potential. This oversized unit is in need of renovation but showcases beautiful original Victorian character throughout. Enjoy a semi-private entrance from the wraparound front porch, shared with just one other unit. Inside, you’ll find a generously sized living room featuring an original tile fireplace, hardwood floors with walnut inlay, and high ceilings. The formal dining room includes a stained glass window and a built-in china cabinet. The kitchen offers laundry hookups and access to the rear parking area. Three well-proportioned bedrooms complete the space, including one with its own original tile fireplace. Lansdowne is just 15 minutes from University City, the International Airport, and I-476, offering small-town charm and big city convenience with its historic atmosphere and convenient access to Philadelphia. The property is five blocks from the regional rail station, and even closer to Lansdowne's shops, restaurants, farmers’ market, and newly-renovated theater! Don't miss the opportunity to make this very special home yours!
