BRIGHT MLS Public Remarks:
PRICE REDUCED BY OVER $250K—NOW ONLY $549,900! LEGALLY ZONED 3-UNIT CASH COW WITH FINISHED BASEMENT SPACE!
Attention savvy investors and house-hackers: this is the value play of the year. Appraised at over $720,000 just a few years ago, this massive twin corner property is now priced for an immediate sale. The property is officially zoned as a legal 3-unit building, featuring three legal 2-bedroom apartments that are completely turnkey and fully leased, guaranteeing an immediate, stable stream of income from day one.
As a massive bonus, the property features a fully finished basement that provides an incredible footprint of extra space for the new buyer—perfect for an owner-user, a private office, or extra managed storage. Landlord oversight is entirely stress-free: all utilities are fully separated with independent electric and water meters, and every apartment features its own independent forced-air central heating and A/C systems, putting the utility responsibility entirely on the tenants.
2026 PREMIUM UPGRADES & PROPERTY FEATURES:
• 2026 Rear Lot Expansion: Freshly updated at the start of 2026, the massive rear yard offers premium extra space. Utilize it as a private recreational oasis, high-demand off-street parking, or build out a private garage to generate an additional monthly revenue stream!
• Turnkey Infrastructure: Features independent central HVAC systems, clean new professional concrete surrounding the entire exterior, an automated security floodlight system, and full compliance with the Philadelphia Fire Code.
