This renovated property has been transformed inside and out, offering a fresh, modern look in all four units with brand-new doors, windows, stucco, floors, kitchens, bathrooms, electrical, and plumbing completed in September of 2025. The main building consists of three separate units, each accessible through a shared front door, plus a completely independent fourth unit with its own entrance in the back. Unit 1, located on the first floor, is a spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit. It features a large, open kitchen with stunning pattern-tile flooring, complemented by sleek cabinets and granite countertops. The expansive living room divides the two generously sized bedrooms, and the full bathroom is conveniently located just off the living area. Unit 2, located on the second floor also features 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. The kitchen is equally impressive, featuring white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, and a charming breakfast nook. The two bedrooms are well-sized and positioned on opposite sides of the unit for privacy. Unit 3, on the third floor, offers a cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout. The kitchen and living area are combined, with white shaker cabinets and granite countertops. The bedroom is spacious, and the bathroom showcases the same beautiful tile as Unit 1’s kitchen. The fourth unit is completely separate with its own private entrance at the back of the building. This 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit is perfect for tenants who desire more privacy, and features an open layout with modern finishes. Additional perks include off-street parking for up to 4 cars and a basement with laundry hookups, ready for the addition of a washer and dryer for tenant convenience. This fully renovated quadplex is a fantastic investment opportunity in a prime North Philly location, offering both style and functionality for residents. Mortgage savings may be available for buyers of this listing.
