Property Description
Prime Mixed-Use Investment Opportunity in the Heart of Swarthmore. 6 UNITS TOTAL !! Welcome to 13-15 South Chester Road-an exceptional 6-unit mixed-use asset strategically located in the highly desirable downtown Swarthmore. This excellent positioned property features 4 residential units and 2 street-level commercial spaces, offering investors a compelling combination of stable income, strong tenant demand, and future value-add potential. The residential component consists of 4 well-maintained 1-bedroom, 1-bath units, each offering functional layouts, full kitchens, and ample storage. With consistent long term rental history and predominantly occupied units, the property delivers a reliable and predictable income stream. Utilities are separate, tenants pay their own electric and heating ( gas) bill. Current rents are below market value. At street level, 2 well established commercial tenants benefit from high visibility and foot traffic in a vibrant retail setting. One space features a large storefront with additional storage and basement access, while the second is a thoughtfully built-out studio with separate baths. Investors have the flexibility to maintain the current configuration or combine both spaces into a single ±3,090 SF commercial unit, creating leasing versatility and potential for increased rental income. Private, assigned parking-a rare and highly valuable amenity in downtown Swarthmore. Recent capital improvements, including a new underground sewage system (2023) and renovations to kitchens and baths in select units. Value-add opportunity with unfinished third-floor space (approx. 2/3 of second-floor footprint), offering potential to expand unit count or increase rental income (subject to township approvals). Situated directly across from the Swarthmore train station and moments from Swarthmore College, this location ensures consistent rental demand from both residential and commercial tenants. Location is prime with opportunity to acquire income-producing asset with upside potential in one of Delaware County's most sought-after submarkets. Contact us today to schedule a private tour and learn more about this great property and take the next step towards securing a valuable asset in a thriving community. - Detailed income and expense information is available for review.
