* * * MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED - Offer Deadline 1/13/26 by 5 PM * * * ARV $299,000-$330,000. Welcome to 8602 Rugby Street, a solid brick rowhome tucked into the heart of Cedarbrook / Mt. Airy. This is the kind of house that invites vision, rewards action, and lets you create & write the next chapter for this property. Step inside and envision your design immediately. The main living area is generously sized, filled with natural light, and offers a layout that works equally well for traditional living or a more modern flow. Just beyond, the dining area creates a natural gathering point for everyday meals or future entertaining. The kitchen is functional and ready for transformation, offering a blank canvas for buyers who understand that the most valuable upgrades are the ones you design yourself. Tucked conveniently on the main level is a half bath, adding everyday comfort and practicality that buyers and tenants alike appreciate. Off the rear of the first floor, just beyond the kitchen, an enclosed patio/deck expands the living space and creates a private retreat for relaxing, dining, or reimagining as a seamless indoor-outdoor extension of the home. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexibility for a growing household, home office needs, or rental use. Each room offers good natural light and a layout that makes updates straightforward and impactful. The full hall bathroom is intact and ready for a modern refresh that will instantly elevate both style and value. The basement delivers what savvy buyers look for: storage, laundry, mechanical systems, and room to improve. Gas heat is already in place, and the space offers long-term flexibility whether kept purely functional or enhanced over time. Out back, a rear garage, rear access, and off-street parking add meaningful value in this neighborhood. The driveway setup and alley access are amenities that quietly elevate day-to-day convenience and long-term appeal. This home speaks to buyers who think ahead: Owner occupants ready to customize and build equity. Landlords seeking a long-term buy-and-hold in a stable, high-demand area. Parents or students looking to own instead of rent. The location offers excellent convenience, with nearby SEPTA bus routes and Regional Rail access providing an easy commute to Center City. Shopping, dining, and everyday necessities are close by along Germantown Avenue, at Cedarbrook Plaza, and at Cheltenham Mall. The home is also just minutes from Chestnut Hill and Wyndmoor, offering additional dining, shopping, and green space, with quick access into Montgomery County. Major roadways, including Route 309 and the Schuylkill Expressway (I-76), make travel throughout the city and surrounding suburbs simple and efficient. Bring your vision, bring your plans, and turn this property's potential into a huge payoff. Opportunities like this, in this neighborhood, do not last. Schedule your showing now before it's too late!
