    Overview

    This mixed-use property includes a street-level storefront and an attached 1-bedroom apartment. The storefront has 1 full bathroom (with a shower), and the apartment includes 2 bathrooms. The former third unit space has been left unfinished, and the 3rd floor is noted as a space that could be finished again for an additional bedroom, returning the layout toward a former 3-unit configuration.

    The building is located at 137 W Lancaster Avenue on the main street of Downingtown. Public remarks indicate it is about 1 block from the Downingtown Train Station and about a half block from a SEPTA bus stop, supporting convenient public transit access. The property also includes 8 parking spots for the lot.

    For buyers seeking a combined live/work setup or an investment property with both commercial and residential space, the current configuration provides an operating storefront alongside apartment income potential. Public remarks also reference a potential cap rate of 6.8%. The owner is relocating and the business is not included, which may appeal to tenants or owners looking to take over the storefront for their own operations.
