    Overview

    The property at 630 Yale Avenue is a fenced, flat corner lot improved by an automotive body shop. The enclosed building includes approximately 5,000 +/- square feet of space and is built with steel beam construction and elevated ceilings. Improvements feature an office, a powder room, and both double and single garage door openings, along with a small basement area. The second floor has an additional powder room and two rooms.

    The lot was just approved for residential use by the Borough of Swarthmore and supports up to 8 residential units. The only approved uses are a body shop or residential, giving the site flexibility for either continued automotive use or conversion. Rear access is available from Rutgers Avenue, and the property is located within about two blocks of the train, town, and Swarthmore College, with convenience to major roads, medical facilities, and shopping.

    For automotive operators, the existing body shop layout with enclosed space, garage door access, and parking for cars or trucks can support day-to-day operations. For residential developers, the borough approval for a limited number of units on a corner site provides a clear framework for planning. Either way, the approved-use constraint of body shop or residential should be considered early in underwriting and design.
