Property Description
Position yourself ahead of the curve in one of Philadelphia's evolving corridors. Welcome to 3048 B Street—an opportunity-packed asset in the heart of Upper Kensington, ideal for investors, landlords, and savvy buyers ready to unlock serious upside.
This property already offers strong fundamentals: an open front porch, a traditional main level layout with living room, dining area, and kitchen, plus a private rear yard. The full-length basement provides substantial square footage ready to be capitalized on, while the second-floor features two well-proportioned bedrooms and a full bathroom.
Where this deal stands out is in its transformation potential:
* Reimagine the basement into a full suite with a bathroom—ideal for added living space or income optimization
* Reconfigure the second floor to support two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, increasing functionality and value
* Open up the main level to create a modern, flowing layout with a redesigned kitchen that today's buyers and tenants' demand
For investors executing the BRRRR Method, this is a textbook acquisition—acquire below market, renovate strategically, stabilize, and refinance to recycle capital.
For owner-occupants, this is a prime candidate for an FHA 203(k) Loan, allowing you to customize your home while building equity from day one.
Located within the footprint of ongoing redevelopment momentum and benefiting from proximity to designated Opportunity Zones, this asset is strategically positioned to capitalize on long-term appreciation, favorable tax advantages, and continued neighborhood transformation.
Key Highlights:
* High-upside value-add opportunity
* Strong layout with expansion and reconfiguration potential
* Ideal for investors, landlords, and first-time buyers alike
* Generational upside in a transforming neighborhood
* 24-hour notice required for all showings
Seller is highly motivated and will consider all serious offers.
