Description

Sound real estate investments often have great neighborhoods as their foundation. The Custis Woods - Twickenham Civic Association makes a bold claim: "We are a neighborhood association in the best neighborhood in the Philadelphia suburbs". They may be biased but when you drive around the neighborhood, you get a sense that they not be wrong! These well built homes of brick and stone have a beauty that stands the test of time. With tall trees and rolling hills, it truly is a lovely area. The association holds a series of fun family events throughout the year, helping to create a real feeling of community. Another solid rule of thumb is to purchase one of the more modest homes in an area that supports high property values. 540 Beaver is priced at the low end of the market to reflect the need for significant updating. The home is worth a look for Investors, avid DIY'ers or Buyers with an eye for making high impact improvements. The home currently has 3 bedrooms and one bath. An attached garage and covered porch may offer options for additional baths and or living space. Ask your agent to run a search of neighborhood sales over the last few years. It will give you a wealth of ideas for updates/upgrades and a sense of the sweat equity you can build for your efforts. Add this home to your showing schedule.
