1526 Philadelphia Street, IndianaIndiana Boro, PA 15701Price: $140,000

If you've been waiting for an affordable opportunity to own a home in Indiana Borough or add another property to your investment portfolio, 1526 Philadelphia Street deserves a closer look. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers approximately 1,364 square feet of living space, and one feature that is not always easy to find in an older Indiana Borough home: a convenient half bath on the main level. The traditional floor plan includes a spacious living room, formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, three bedrooms upstairs, an enclosed front porch and a full unfinished basement offering additional storage space. What may really surprise you is the outdoor space. The sale includes the adjoining vacant parcel, creating an approximately .26-acre combined property with plenty of room to enjoy the yard, garden, entertain or explore the possibility of adding a garage or other improvements, subject to Indiana Borough zoning and required approvals. Covered parking is already available. Since purchasing the property, the owners have completed several improvements including a new bathroom vanity, several replacement windows, a newer refrigerator and fresh paint in the kitchen and dining room and more. Public water and sewer and gas forced-air heat add everyday convenience. For a first-time homebuyer, this could be an opportunity to purchase a home with room to make improvements over time and build equity along the way. For an investor, the combination of three bedrooms, 1.5 baths, off-street covered parking and the additional lot creates possibilities worth considering. Sometimes the right property isn't the one where everything has already been done. It's the one that gives you the space and opportunity to make it work for your plans.
