Description

245 N Spring Garden Street is a well maintained duplex located in sought after Ambler Borough. This is fantastic investment opportunity, with tenants in place who would love to stay (on month to month leases), or live in one unit and rent the other to help cover mortgage. The first floor unit offers one bedroom, a living room, dining room, spacious kitchen with laundry, access to the fantastic front porch and the back yard. Currently, the first floor has use of the basement for storage. The second unit is on the second and third floors of the property. Accessed by stairs on the left side of the house, you enter into a small foyer and head up to the second floor which offers two bedrooms, a living room, and eat-in kitchen. The third floor is heated, but cosmetically unfinished and currently used for laundry and storage. These third floor rooms could easily be brought up to speed and used in a more conventional manner. Each unit has separate utilities. This is a fantastic location, just blocks from all that downtown Ambler has to offer including multiple parks, restaurants, pubs, shops, theater, Weavers Way grocery store, annual festivals, Farmers' Market, AND the train into Philadelphia. Wissahickon school district is another big plus. This is an investment opportunity that you do not want to miss.
