Property Description
Excellent investment opportunity in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. This duplex features two residential units consisting of one 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment and one 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment. The property offers immediate upside potential with one unit currently vacant and ready for occupancy or market-rate leasing, while the occupied unit is generating rental income with the current tenant scheduled to vacate at the end of June 2026. The building provides flexibility for both investors and owner-occupants seeking a value-add opportunity in a rapidly developing neighborhood. Separate living spaces, strong rental demand, and the ability to set new rental rates make this property an attractive addition to any portfolio. Conveniently located near public transportation, major roadways, shopping, dining, and employment centers, this property is well-positioned for continued appreciation and long-term cash flow. Whether you're looking to expand your rental portfolio or occupy one unit while renting the other, this Kensington duplex offers exceptional potential.
