Leah Spradley loves her house. It’s the only one she’s ever owned, and it’s been her home for the past 30 years.
That said, she acknowledges that the property, on the 6000 block of Callowhill Street in West Philadelphia’s Haddington neighborhood, could use some improvement. She’s been dealing with drafts and electrical issues for all those three decades.
