The front facade has been completely refreshed in a beautiful blue color, giving the property a distinctive and welcoming appearance. The rear yard has also been completely cleaned and improved, creating a more enjoyable outdoor space for residents. One of the most significant improvements is the first floor, which has been transformed into a spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence. This unit is currently being successfully utilized as a furnished mid term rental through Airbnb, serving students and other guests seeking convenient housing close to Philadelphia's major universities. The property currently generates $4,365 per month in rental income, providing a current annualized rental figure of $52,380. Current Rent Roll Apt A generates $2,000 per month through Airbnb Apt B generates $1,250 per month Apt C generates $1,115 per month With three separate units, this property provides flexibility for an investor, owner occupant, or buyer looking to combine personal use with rental income. The first floor offers the opportunity to live in a spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence while collecting rental income from the two additional units. Alternatively, an investor can continue utilizing the existing rental structure and explore additional opportunities for furnished, mid term, or traditional leasing. The second floor features a comfortable 1 bedroom apartment with a spacious living area, kitchen, and full bathroom. The third floor offers a studio style apartment with its own kitchen, living and sleeping space, and full bathroom. The property also features three electric meters and three electric water heaters, supporting the property's three unit configuration. The property is zoned RM 1 and has a forced air heating system.
