Welcome to Robinson St.! This recently renovated duplex in Southwest Philadelphia, near S 62nd & Buist Ave, presents a solid opportunity for both owner-occupants and investors. The first floor is a vacant one-bedroom apartment, ready for immediate occupancy. It features a spacious living room, a well-equipped kitchen, and a comfortable bedroom with ample closet space. A private, fenced backyard offers outdoor space, and the full basement provides significant storage. The large bathroom includes convenient washer/dryer hookups. The second floor is currently rented for $1100 per month to a reliable tenant through June 2025, with the tenant expressing interest in renewing. This provides immediate rental income to offset your mortgage or enhance your investment returns. This unit includes an open-concept kitchen and living area (also with washer/dryer hookups), a large wooden deck ideal for outdoor enjoyment, two bedrooms, and an updated bathroom. This duplex is all-electric, so the only utilities a tenant needs to cover would be electricity and water, making things simple and easy. The location offers convenient access to Center City (under 20 minutes) and multiple public transportation options. The neighborhood is experiencing ongoing growth, making this a smart investment. For first-time homebuyers, programs like PHFA, NACA, the Home Access Center, and the Philadelphia Home Fund can significantly improve affordability. We can connect you with local lenders specializing in these programs. Quick Abstract is preferred for title services but not required.
