258 S. 55th St. is a legally zoned duplex in Philadelphia’s Cobbs Creek section. The property is configured with separate entrances and separate utilities, creating distinct living arrangements within the building. Renovation is incomplete, and the unfinished condition leaves room for the next owner to customize finishes.
