About this home
Income-Producing Investment Opportunity in Powelton Village – Loonstyn Brothers Realty LLC is pleased to present 517 N. 35th Street, an investment property located in the heart of Powelton Village, one of Philadelphia's strongest and most sought-after rental markets. The property is currently configured and operated with eight occupied studio-style units, each featuring a private kitchenette and bathroom, creating an efficient layout that has consistently attracted students, young professionals, and medical employees in the surrounding University City area. The property currently generates approximately $72,000 in annual gross rental income and offers investors immediate cash flow with additional upside through mark-to-market rents as units naturally turn over. The current layout consists of two studio-style units on the first floor, three on the second floor, and three on the third floor, providing an efficient and easily managed configuration. Tenants are responsible for their own electric and internet service, while ownership pays for water and common area electric. Ideally located just minutes from Drexel University, the University of Pennsylvania, Penn Medicine, CHOP, public transportation, neighborhood retail, restaurants, and major employment centers, the property benefits from one of Philadelphia's most resilient rental markets with strong long-term housing demand. Prospective purchasers are encouraged to conduct their own independent due diligence regarding zoning, licensing, certificates of occupancy, permitted uses, and all other municipal requirements.

Baring, located between Girard Avenue and Fairmount Avenue, is a residential and industrial Philadelphia neighborhood with rowhouse blocks and warehouse edges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Girard Avenue corridor near 31st Street, where corner takeouts, small storefronts, and SEPTA bus stops set a steady street rhythm. Brick twins and compact rowhomes line quieter side streets, while larger commercial buildings mark the transitions toward the rail and river infrastructure. The Schuylkill River Trail frames daily routines with a linear ribbon of paths and skyline views. Nearby cultural anchors such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Barnes Foundation shape the area’s off-hours cadence. Green space at Lemon Hill and the Fairmount Park edge adds breathing room to the tight grid.
