174 Lauriston St, Philadelphia, PA 19128

Looking for a project with big upside? Welcome to 174–76 Lauriston, a rare double-lot, end-of-row home with a driveway, yard, and detached garage — all just steps away from the famous “100 Steps” connecting Roxborough to the buzz of Manayunk. Inside, you’ll find a living room, dining room, and eat-in kitchen with an extra breakfast room ready for morning coffee or a sunny workspace. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a full bath, while the third floor features a spacious loft-style bedroom that could easily become a primary suite, studio, or playroom. This isn’t a light weekend project — the home needs a lot of sweat equity to restore it to its former glory. But for those ready to roll up their sleeves, the reward is a property with rare outdoor space, off-street parking, and an unbeatable location. Homes with this kind of lot size, garage, and proximity to the 100 Steps don’t come around often in Roxborough. Bring your vision (and maybe a good hammer) — the potential here is worth every ounce of effort. Property to be sold in as-is, where-is condition. Buyer responsible for U & O.
