About 517 E Chelten Ave
This home is huge. Enter onto the nice sized front porch where once rehabbed will be a place of relaxation. The living room is spacious with a fireplace. Continue to a large dining room which will accommodate large family gatherings. The kitchen is a galley kitchen. On the second floor are three nice sized bedrooms and a bathroom. Go to the third floor and again there are three nice sized bedrooms and a bathroom. The basement is a great place for storage or once rehabbed could be extra living space since there are two forms of egress. The buyer should understand that this is a total rehab since everything in the property is original and needs to be brought back to the grand home that it was when it was built. The property is conveniently located to all forms of public transportation. It is situated across from the Basilica of the Miraculous Medal, a national shrine. Although this property needs restoration, the bones are in very good shape. They don't build them like this anymore. Please look beyond the stuff that is in the photos and arrange a showing. Make this home into your dream home.
