Philadelphia
Price: $28,000
State of repair: Needs a lot of work
This house could be an attractive little townhouse with its fancy cornice, fan-lighted front door and second-story bay windows. But this home has suffered through so many years of neglect that it would take a visionary buyer to see past the problems.
The exterior's paint is peeling and the brick needs re-pointing. Inside, there's even more to be done, including replacing the kitchen and bath.
Once that's done, though, the new owner will have a well-built brick home in the up-and-coming Point Breeze section, just a couple miles from Rittenhouse Square.
