Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This two-unit duplex includes two separate residences, each offering two bedrooms and one bathroom. Kitchens and bathrooms have been updated, and each unit has its own Lenox heating unit plus a tankless water heater. Washer/dryer hookups are located in the basement and are included as-is. Both units will be delivered empty, giving the purchaser flexibility for immediate occupancy or targeted renovation choices. The property also features a generous backyard with a grilling area and a shed, and the roof has recently been treated and sealed.

The home is situated on a quiet one-way street in Philadelphia, with shopping and public transportation reportedly nearby. Per public records, the property is zoned Duplex Two Family, though there are noted inconsistencies in how it has been treated by some city agencies.

With both units having similar layouts and independent systems, the duplex can be a straightforward fit for investors seeking steady rental income or buyers who want to house family or close friends while offsetting mortgage expenses. The updated interiors support tenants from day one, while the outdoor space and shed add practical value for day-to-day living.
