    What's special

    Separate entrances
    Located in the Cobbs Creek section of Philadelphia, 258 S. 55th St. presents an outstanding opportunity for investors or owner-occupants looking to build equity. This legally zoned duplex offers approximately 1,650 square feet and is already configured with separate entrances and separate utilities, providing a strong foundation for future rental income. While the renovation remains incomplete, much of the vision is already in place, allowing the next owner to customize the finishes to their preferences. The unfinished basement features its own front entrance and offers additional potential for expanded living space, with buyers encouraged to confirm any future use with the City of Philadelphia. Conveniently located near public transportation, shopping, parks, and major commuter routes, this property is ideal for someone looking to complete the renovation and occupy one unit while renting the other or add a promising income-producing asset to their portfolio.
