If you’re looking for the ideal setup for a live-in investment, this well-maintained two-unit property with separate utilities is a top candidate and will allow you to build equity while offsetting your mortgage. This home has been professionally managed and has a strong maintenance record, giving the next owner fewer worries and more peace of mind. Key updates include a new main roof in 2023, a replaced hot water heater, and several updated baseboard heaters—important improvements that add long-term value. Positioned in a highly visible area, this property makes attracting tenants easier, and a bus stop just a few doors down adds daily convenience for occupants. Whether you’re an owner-occupant or a landlord, the location works in your favor. For groceries, Rivas Mini Market is just up the block and C-Town Supermarket is less than a mile away. Food lovers will enjoy being close to local favorites like El Casero, Pho Bistro, and Jackie B’s. Need green space? Hudson Park is under a half mile away, and York’s vibrant downtown is just about a mile from your doorstep. If you’re looking for a well-located, income-producing property with a solid maintenance history, 688 E. Philadelphia Street is a great opportunity to live and invest in one move.
