About this home
Location-driven value-add opportunity just minutes from University City and UPenn. Located at 1255 S Ruby Street in Kingsessing, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers strong rental and resale potential with a renovation already underway. The property is conveniently located near University City, the University of Pennsylvania, and major transportation lines, making it well positioned for long-term demand. Significant prep work has been completed, creating an easy finish-out for a skilled trades-person, investor, or owner-occupant. The full basement has been parged, plastered, painted, and cleaned, ceiling tiles have been replaced with freshly painted tracks, carpets and blinds removed, and the heating system is in place with a newer hot water tank. A new stove (2022) is already installed. To complete the project, the next owner can add a kitchen and refrigerator, install flooring, paint, and update or refinish the existing tub and surround—a straightforward renovation ideal for a live-in project, flip, rental hold, or FHA 203(k) financing. Additional features include an enclosed front porch, concrete front yard, and concrete rear yard. Seller is a licensed real estate agent and is negotiable. Easy to show.
