Nestled in the heart of Ridley School district , this charming 1930s gem awaits its next lucky owner. I am thrilled to present this unique property that offers not only a delightful residence but also an adjoining vacant lot, doubling the potential and opportunities for the savvy buyer. The main home exudes warmth and character from the moment you step onto its welcoming front porch. Inside, you'll discover a harmonious blend of vintage charm and modern comfort. The spacious living and dining area invites cozy gatherings and memorable moments with loved ones. Picture-perfect memories adorn the walls, offering a glimpse into the cherished life of the current homeowners. Whip up culinary delights in the inviting eat-in kitchen, which seamlessly connects to a charming enclosed porch, perfect for morning coffees or evening relaxation. The main floor features two bedrooms and a convenient full bath, offering comfort and convenience for all. Venture upstairs to find a versatile space currently used as a cigar room but ready to adapt to your unique lifestyle needs. Another full bath and a cozy bedroom complete the upper level, ensuring ample space for everyone to unwind and recharge. But the allure doesn't end there! Imagine the endless possibilities of the adjoining vacant lot, a rare find in this bustling neighborhood. Expand your living space, create a lush garden oasis, or explore the potential for future commercial endeavors (subject to municipal approvals). The choice is yours to make! Almost an acre and currently zoned R2 Residential, there is potential to build a single home, twin home, or subdivide the land for multiple dwellings. Township zoning allows for varying structures. Township zoning is attached in docs. (Please check with township for most updated zoning.) This .9297 acres sits right along the commercial and business district. Nearby there are small and large businesses such as WaWa, Acme, banks, eateries, gyms, and warehouse stores. Close to public transportation. Minutes to 476 and 95. Less than 15 minutes to Phila International Airport. Endless possibilities surround the lot and provide the opportunity for this land to become part of the business district picture. The business directly across the road is commercial, and indicates the prospect of using this land as a small business enterprise. The subdivision possibilities might allow for multiple dwellings and a bigger return for the investment with rental income.

All surveys, inspections, permits, engineering surveys and approvals are the responsibility of the buyer/investor. Currently vacant ground. Utilities available but not guaranteed.
