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.
• Capital Improvement Peace of Mind: Old-growth plumbing worries are gone with a newly installed 5-inch main sewer line, backed by a 100-year corrosion warranty.
Perfectly positioned on a highly visible corner in high-demand University City, tenants enjoy immediate access to the Route 13 Trolley and Regional Rail. Located just minutes from the region's premier universities and hospital networks, this location ensures a permanent pool of high-quality professional and student applicants.
FINANCING PATHWAYS & INCENTIVES:
• Owner-Occupants: Capitalize on massive leverage! Live in the finished basement space or an apartment and let the leased units pay your entire mortgage. FHA eligible (3.5% down) and Conventional (5% down), plus local $3,000 and $7,500 grant eligibility.
• Portfolio Investors: Take advantage of flexible financing including Rent-Only Verification (DSCR) loans, 20% down options, LLC purchasing flexibility, and competitive interest-only programs.
A legally zoned 3-unit building with separate HVAC, separate meters, and a finished basement under $550K in University City is a rare find. Schedule your tour today before this unmatched value play is gone!
