- New Kitchen
- Open Floor Plan
Welcome to 342 E Mechanic St! This house is perfect for either an investor or occupant- recent renovations include but are certainly not limited to brand new kitchen appliances, GRANITE countertops, new paint throughout, and newer LVP flooring. It has been very well maintained so truly all there is to do is move in! The main floor space includes an open floor plan with plenty of natural light. The three bedrooms are all roomy and one could easily work as an office or play room. Close to Germantown, Mt Airy, and Manayunk, and an easy drive to downtown Philadelphia, you couldnt ask for a better location. This house would be a great candidate for many grants as well. Dont wait, schedule a showing today and start off 2024 strong!
