For Sale By Owner

Hello and welcome to "NoLib" (like "SoHo" and "SoBe") did you know that this portion of Poplar Street was once called Poplar Lane?

Northern Liberties History:

In the beginning, long before the arrival of William Penn, Philadelphia's Northern Liberties section was occupied by Lenni-Lenape Indians. The name Liberties was later derived from Penn's grant of free lands, Liberty Lands. At the city's founding, if you purchased a lot of land within the city limits, you automatically got a free piece of property in the "Liberty Lands", the wilderness to the north. This was done to encourage the purchase and settlement of land in other parts of the colony. These lots were divvied up around the earlier-settled "hutted Indians," Swedes and Quakers, and were further sub-divided to recognize the higher value of lots near the Delaware River.

Unlike William Penn we can not offer you the same incentive that was offered to the early settlers but what we can promise you is that you will be living in a vibrant community with lots of potential for real estate appreciation. This townhouse is located in the heart of Northern Liberties and was stripped down to the bare walls and then totally renewed thru-out in 1990. All of the work was performed by a general contractor with the guidance of Campbell & Thomas Architects of Philadelphia. Additionally, we are including an AHS Select Home Warranty (http://www.ahswarranty.com) so you can sleep better in your new home knowing that you're covered if something should happen.

*** At present, our house is rented and produces $3250.00 per mo rent which affords us a positive cash flow. If you're looking for an investment property this would fit the bill.
