University City Quadplex with nice character and awesome outdoor space. Excellent location in the Penn Alexander School Catchment. This property is in need of significant work, including cosmetics, electrical wiring, and deferred maintenance. Continue use as a quadplex, use existing or create a larger owner's unit, or convert to single family. The 1st floor is a very spacious 1BR with high ceilings and a large rear yard. The 2nd floor offers two studios, both with separate kitchens. Both are under-rented through October 2020. The 3rd floor is a 2BR apartment. The seller has purposely left this unit vacant to prepare for the sale. Situated on a tree lined block, just one block from Clark Park and its fabulous Farmers' Market, Clarkville, and Green Line. Easy walk to Milk & Honey, Baltimore Avenue's Restaurant Row, Renata's, Penn Alexander Catchment School, Taco Taco Mexican, Local 44 and the Bottle Shop, Pop Shop, CVS, and so many other coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping. Close to HUP, CHOP, Penn, Drexel, University of the Sciences, Presby, Science Center. 12 minutes to Center City by car or bike and plenty of convenient SEPTA options. NOTE--Property is zoned for four units. Electric is separate. Water and Gas are not.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
