About This Home
Incredible Opportunity in the Heart of South Philadelphia!
Located in the highly desirable Whitman section of the city, this multi-use building is the perfect setup for a savvy investor—or even a sharp first-time buyer looking to have someone else help cover the mortgage. Whether you’re expanding a portfolio or planning to live in one unit and rent the other, this is a can’t-miss opportunity.
Lower Level:
The first-floor unit is currently occupied by a long-term tenant, Whitman Council, who has a strong rental history and has paid on time consistently. A reliable tenant in place makes this property an immediate income-producer with very little maintenance needed from day one.
Upper Level:
Completely renovated in 2025 with upgrades that include new HVAC, windows, electrical, and plumbing. This unit is rent-ready and in phenomenal condition.
Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the luxury vinyl plank flooring running throughout. To the left, a beautifully renovated full bathroom with a walk-in shower, oversized vanity, and tile flooring. Continue into the laundry room with additional storage and functionality.
The heart of the unit is the eat-in kitchen, featuring shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, a breakfast bar peninsula, and sleek finishes throughout. A dining space/living area sits just off the kitchen, with exposed ductwork ceilings adding that perfect industrial-style edge and modern South Philly charm.
At the rear of the unit, you’ll find a perfectly sized one-bedroom with dual closets and plenty of natural light.
The Setup:
Whether you’re an entrepreneur looking for a dual-purpose space, an investor searching for your next rental gem, or a first-time buyer trying to make your money stretch—this place checks the boxes. The first-floor flexibility, paired with the fully updated second floor, creates a dynamic setup for both personal use and cash flow.
