This is a fantastic opportunity to own a multi-unit property with excellent upside. Currently configured as a duplex, this property features two 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom units, each offering a comfortable layout. With some vision and renovations, there is potential to convert the property into a triplex, maximizing rental income and long-term value. The property is in need of some TLC, making it ideal for investors or owner-occupants ready to build equity through improvements. Each unit has its own charm and with updates, could be turned into desirable rentals. Buyer is responsible to confirm with the City of Philadelphia on how to convert to a triplex. The seller and/or seller agents / brokerages makes no representations or warranty.
