This well-cared-for property is ideal for an owner-occupant looking to offset monthly expenses or for a buyer seeking a smart addition to their portfolio. The first-floor unit offers two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath and has been intentionally left vacant, providing a wonderful opportunity to make the space your own or welcome a tenant of your choosing. Upstairs, the bright and spacious three-bedroom, one-bath unit is currently rented for $1,600 per month, offering steady income from day one. Both units feel inviting and modern, featuring efficient mini-split systems for year-round comfort, sleek electric kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and the everyday convenience of in-unit stackable washers and dryers. Recent improvements throughout the past few years—including the roof, flooring, water heaters, and tasteful cosmetic updates—create a move-in-ready experience and peace of mind for the next owner. Set just minutes from University City, Penn, major medical centers, public transportation, and a variety of shops and restaurants, this home offers easy access to everything city living has to offer. Whether you choose to live in one unit and rent the other, or enjoy the flexibility of a fully income-producing property, this duplex presents a warm and rewarding opportunity in a highly desirable location.
