Description
Welcome to 1005 Prospect Ave! This is a freshly renovated property in the heart of Marshallton Heights. The renovations list is endless.

The entire second floor has been refreshed including the addition of a half bath (final permits pending). The original hardwood floors have been refinished throughout both stories.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
