Investor Opportunity in Roxborough! Situated on an exceptionally deep lot with a massive backyard and detached one-car garage, 652 Rector Street offers the chance to create significant value in one of Philadelphia's most sought-after neighborhoods. The property requires a complete renovation and is being sold strictly as-is, where-is, making it ideal for investors, contractors, builders, or buyers seeking a full-scale project. The oversized lot is a rare find in the city and provides ample space for outdoor living, future improvements, or a highly desirable finished product for resale. Located just minutes from Main Street Manayunk, the Wissahickon trails, regional rail, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes, the property's location is a major driver of its long-term value. Renovated homes in the area continue to command strong prices, and buyers may identify after-repair value potential in the approximately $425,000-$450,000 range, though all buyers should perform their own due diligence and verify all assumptions. Whether your strategy is fix-and-flip, buy-and-hold, or creating a custom residence with substantial outdoor space, this property offers the location, lot size, and upside that investors are searching for. Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find in Roxborough.
