About this home
BACK ON MARKET! Buyer was unable to obtain financing. This is a rare opportunity to own a sun-drenched corner home set up with a lower and upper unit in the Mantua section of West Philadelphia. Designed for both immediate income and long-term upside, this property is an ideal fit for investors and house hackers looking to live in one unit while gaining rental income from the other. This versatile property features two fully separate units, each with a private entrance. The lower-level unit includes two bedrooms, one bath, basement access and in-unit laundry. The spacious bi-level upper unit has three bedrooms, one bath, its own washer/dryer, and a rear yard entry. This setup is perfect for maximizing rental flexibility or offsetting your monthly expenses. Positioned on a corner, the home is flooded with natural light from multiple exposures, creating bright, highly desirable living spaces that consistently attract tenants. Located just minutes from the Philadelphia Zoo, the Schuylkill River Trail, and major highways, this property offers seamless access to Center City, universities, and major hospitals. This area continues to see strong rental demand and ongoing growth. Whether you’re looking to live in one unit while generating income from the other or add a high-demand asset to your portfolio, this property delivers the kind of location, layout, and potential that doesn’t come around often. Please note home was most recently occupied as a single family home with an in-law suite and had previously had two rental licenses which have expired and the property has been rezoned as a single family residence. Buyers are responsible for any future zoning and legalization of unit. The city certification is attached to the listing documents for review....
