Fresh Address: 1520 W Thompson Street Gets a Makeover

We've featured 1520 W Thompson Street before, but that was before our solar-powered opportunity near Temple University was fully rehabbed. An updated Fresh Address for this unique property priced at $175,000 is due!

Where It's At: A coveted Temple University location. This home is a result in an early Green Movement in Philadelphia, built 27 years ago. 1520 W. Thompson was one of the first solar-enhanced homes in Philadelphia. Solar Details. Close to Center City and easy access to public transportation.

Come On In: This completely updated 3 bedroom home has a covered porch front with off-street driveway parking for 2 cars. There is a storage room on the front porch and a very large fenced in backyard with porch. The interior has plush neutral wall to wall carpeting, a large living room, 1st floor laundry room, and open kitchen that overlooks the den/dining area. The kitchen has new shaker style solid wood cabinets, enormous space on the polished granite counters, large bar area for eating, tiled back splash, and new appliances. Slider doors access the rear yard and will offer you year round views. The second floor has a hall bath, custom tiled walls and floor, and 3 bedrooms. There are high ceilings in the bedrooms. Central air and all of the conveniences.

Fresh Address: 1520 W Thompson Street

Today's Fresh Address is an investment property. You've heard how an "ugly duckling" turns into a "graceful swan", right? Well we have a "green frog" ready to be turned into a "handsome prince" at 1520 W. Thompson Street.

Where It's At: A coveted Temple University location. This home is a result in an early Green Movement in Philadelphia, built 27 years ago. 1520 W. Thompson was one of the first solar-enhanced homes in Philadelphia. Solar Details.

Come On In: It is a great time to invest in Philadelphia Real Estate. Single family residential homes make fantastic rental properties and out-perform as an appreciating asset. There is a greater yield potential in Real Estate compared to other more risky endeavors such as the stock market and growth mutual funds.

Projected sale price after a full rehab is about $135K and projected rental price $1,200/mo.

$89,900

Let us know if you are ready to kiss the frog and perhaps leap from 1st time investor to Real Estate Entrepreneur!

What’s up with…Brewerytown

BrewerytownThe neighborhood of Brewerytown extends from the Schuylkill River to 25th Street in North Philadelphia. Historically, Brewerytown was the site of numerous breweries, particularly during the 1800's when it had more breweries than most areas in the state.

Brewerytown 's West Girard Avenue corridor is the site of many new businesses, newly-constructed homes, art galleries, and retail spaces. Along it you'll find a record store, plenty of soul food restaurants, and easy access to Northern Liberties and Fishtown via the Route 15 trolley. It's also a quick walk to the Art Museum and Fairmount.

Mugshots Coffeehouse (pictured below) will open a second location here, and already runs a successful shop in nearby Fairmount. It will strive to be a community hub of local food, fair trade coffee, and arts events. Renowned artist Shepard Fairey recently completed a wheatpaste mural, adding a little more street sass to the ongoing arts movement in Brewerytown.
