Property Description
Welcome to 1612 S. 56th Street, a turnkey, renovated duplex with separate entrances, central air, and strong rental potential just off Springfield Ave. This fully updated legal duplex offers two spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bath units with modern finishes throughout. Each unit features new flooring, recessed lighting, updated kitchens with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and stylish two-tone cabinetry, along with fully renovated bathrooms with floor-to-ceiling tile surrounds. The layouts provide comfortable living areas with efficient floor plans and well-sized bedrooms suited for flexible living arrangements. The upper unit includes access to a private front balcony, adding valuable outdoor space. The property is separately metered and will be delivered vacant, making it ideal for an owner-occupant looking to offset their mortgage or an investor seeking immediate rental flexibility. Additional highlights include central heating and cooling, separate entrances for each unit, refreshed exterior, and a full unfinished basement with front access offering convenient storage potential. Located near the newly renovated Kingsessing Rec Center, trolley lines, neighborhood retail, and with easy access to University City, this is a strong opportunity to own a move-in ready duplex in a rapidly improving West Philadelphia corridor.
