About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to 5820 Theodore St, a fantastic investment opportunity in the Elmwood neighborhood of Philadelphia.

This duplex features two one-bedroom units, presenting an excellent opportunity for investors to rent out both units or for owner-occupants to move in and live rent-free.

The first floor unit is a bi-level apartment with beautiful hardwood floors throughout. This unit boasts a spacious living room, a full bath, a master bedroom, and a large eat-in kitchen. The finished basement provides plenty of additional living space and can be used as a second bedroom or a recreation room and provides access to the garage. This unit is currently rented out for $600/month.

The second floor unit features one bedroom, one full bath, an eat-in kitchen, and a living room. This unit is currently vacant and has great potential to easily be updated into a comfortable living space.

While the property can use some updates, each unit has the potential to rent for approximately $900 to $1,000 once renovated.

This property is located on a great block and is conveniently close to transportation and shopping, making it an ideal location for tenants.
