Excellent investment opportunity in the heart of Philadelphia! This fully vacant triplex at 1842 N 17th Street offers a rare chance for an investor or owner-occupant to take immediate control of all three units and establish rents from day one. The property features three spacious layouts, including a 5-bedroom, 2-bath Unit 1, a 4-bedroom, 3-bath Unit 2, and a 3-bedroom, 2-bath Unit 3. With all three units currently vacant, the next owner has the flexibility to lease each unit at current market rates, renovate or reposition the property as desired, or potentially occupy one unit while renting the others. Located near Temple University with convenient access to public transportation, major roadways, and neighborhood amenities, this property offers strong rental potential and long-term upside. Whether you’re looking to expand your investment portfolio or take advantage of a multifamily owner-occupant opportunity, this triplex provides a flexible blank slate in a consistently active rental market.
