    Overview

    This turn-key duplex is tenant-occupied and set up as a two-unit rental property. The first-floor unit is a one-bedroom layout with a living room, private bedroom, eat-in kitchen, full bathroom, and a private rear patio. The second-floor unit features a spacious living room, a generous kitchen, and three private bedrooms with additional room for tenant flexibility. Two separate gas heating systems are in place, which allows tenants to handle their own heat, hot water, and electric expenses.

    The property is located at 728 Franklin Street in Downtown Reading. Public remarks note it is directly across from the BARTA Transportation Center and within walking distance of Santander Arena, Penn Street, the Schuylkill River Trail, and multiple public parking garages, supporting convenient access to downtown destinations.

    For investors or owner-occupants, the configuration supports multiple ways to use the property: renting both units as a long-term income asset, or living in one unit while leasing the other. Because both units are currently occupied, the duplex is positioned for continuity from day one, with tenants in place as reflected in the public remarks.
