What's special

Two-unit brick duplexDining roomQuiet residential blockWood floors

Welcome to 2105 Melvin Street, an investor opportunity in Wynnefield! This two-unit brick duplex offers solid bones and a chance to add value with cosmetic updates, sold as-is. Both units share a front foyer. The first-floor unit features a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and a half bath, plus access to the full basement with a full bathroom, adding valuable extra space. The second-floor unit offers a bedroom, a full bathroom, and its own kitchen. The property is structurally solid and needs cosmetic repair, and the heating system will need to be replaced. Gas heat and hot water, public water and sewer, and wood floors are already in place. Set on a quiet residential block in Wynnefield, the home is convenient to City Avenue, Fairmount Park, and public transportation, with easy access to Center City. Bring your vision and your contractor, and make this a strong addition to your portfolio.
