Welcome to 3519 Bowman Street, a 4-bedroom home in East Falls with original character intact and real room to make it your own. This one is being sold as-is, and it is for the buyer who sees what a home can become rather than what it is today. Start with the bones, because they are good. Original hardwood runs through the living room, the dining room, and most of the bedrooms. The living room centers on a decorative fireplace. The dining room is anchored by a chandelier and an antique stove that has been kept in place. The kitchen carries genuine character with an exposed brick wall, exposed ceiling beams, and windows that pull light deep into the house. Light is the first thing you notice here. Between the window placement and the room sizes, this home is unusually bright for the block, and that is not something a renovation can add later. Four bedrooms split between the 2nd and 3rd floors give you room to work with, including a front bedroom on the second floor that reads as two connected spaces, a layout that lends itself to a primary suite with an office, a sitting area, or a nursery beside the main room. A full bath serves the bedroom levels, and the unfinished basement holds the laundry with washer and dryer included. Outside, a covered front porch faces the street and a back patio offers private outdoor space, both already in good shape. The location is the part you cannot renovate. You are in East Falls with quick access to Roosevelt Boulevard and I-76, a short walk to the East Falls train station and Fairmount Park is close by for trails, open space, and the river. This home needs work and it is priced accordingly. For a renovator, an investor, or a buyer, with original details, four bedrooms, and an East Falls address is a combination that does not come up often. Schedule your showing today.
