218 Hillside Ave, Jenkintown, PA, 19046
About This Home
Opportunity knocks in one of Jenkintown’s most desirable neighborhoods. This property offers exceptional potential for investors, contractors, or buyers looking to take on a full renovation project. Surrounded by well‑maintained homes that regularly sell between $400,000–$500,000, this is a rare chance to create value in a high‑demand area. The home requires a comprehensive rehab and will be conveyed as‑is, with some personal items likely remaining. However, several key improvements have already been completed, including newer siding, roof, windows, and a main bathroom updated within the last few years. Beyond these updates, the property presents a blank canvas for a full redesign, expansion, or modernization. Situated on a nice, usable yard, the lot provides room for outdoor living, gardening, or future enhancements. The location offers the best of Jenkintown—tree‑lined streets, walkable conveniences, and access to top‑rated schools, parks, shopping, and major commuter routes. Whether you’re looking to renovate and resell, build long‑term equity, or customize a home to your exact vision, 218 Hillside Ave delivers the setting and the upside to make it worthwhile. Property is being sold in as‑is condition. Buyer responsible for any township requirements and all purchase contracts must be the standard PA state forms for consideration. Tax Appeal Opportunity: A real estate tax attorney has completed a thorough assessment of the property and concluded that annual real estate taxes may be reduced by approximately $3,662. A formal appeal is prepared and ready for submission on behalf of the incoming owner.
