Attention investors! Welcome to 4952 Hawthorne Street, a fully occupied, turnkey duplex in Philadelphia’s Frankford section offering immediate, hassle-free cash flow. Generating $1,822 in total monthly income ($797/mo downstairs through Feb 2027; $1,025/mo upstairs through Aug 2027), both 1-bedroom units feature tenant-paid gas and electric, with landlord-paid water offset by a flat tenant fee. The seller has meticulously upgraded major systems to minimize future expenses, including a new 80,000 BTU boiler (2026), mini-split heat and A/C units throughout (2024), a brand-new tar roof (2024), and extensive plumbing replacements covering the interior cast iron sewer lines, P-trap, and main lateral line (2024 & 2026). Additional updates feature new main gas and water shutoff valves (2026), updated bathroom fixtures downstairs (2024), a newer refrigerator upstairs (2023), and an electric range with built-in air frying (2022). Basement is full and unfinished with access from the first floor and there is a shared enclosed front porch.
