About this House

Opportunity knocks in Sun Hill — and a lot of the expensive work is already done. Offered for the first time in over 55 years, 908 E 16th Street is a solid all-brick end of row, just blocks from Widener University, and the big-ticket items have already been handled: newer roof, updated HVAC, a recently renovated bathroom, and a rebuilt rear porch with new siding all done withing the past 3 years! What's left is cosmetic. The interior is dated and ready for your finishes — and that's exactly where the upside lives. Inside you'll find 1,210 square feet with a classic living room, dining room and kitchen on the main level, three bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, and a full unfinished basement offering room for laundry, storage, or future finished space. Outside, a larger corner lot with a rear yard and low annual taxes make this a prime cash flow opportunity. The location does real work here. Widener University is minutes away, I-95 and Philadelphia International Airport are a short drive, and this pocket of Chester has proven itself as one of the area's most consistent rental corridors — making this an equally smart move for a value-add investor or a buyer willing to trade sweat equity for a home owned well below neighborhood value. Sold strictly as-is. Seller will make no repairs and provide no certifications. Buyer is responsible for any and all requirements from the City regarding U&O work if needed. Cash or conventional financing only. Priced to move — schedule your showing today and bring your best offer.
