Overview

1246 S 53rd St is a 3 residential unit triplex, offering an investor or owner-occupant a rare mix of immediate cash flow with a value-add opportunity. This lovely three-story brick semi-detached twin situated in a highly desirable pocket of Kingsessing, sits just minutes from UPenn, Drexel Hill, Cobbs Creek Parkway, SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line and local eateries. The building consists of two 2-bedroom/1bath units and one 1-bedroom/1bath unit, with 2 out of 3 units currently occupied on a long term lease generating annual gross income of $28,900+, leaving the vacant unit open to execute a value-add strategy, or live in one unit while collecting rental income from the others. The price, size, and condition of the property make this attractive for tenants looking for a centralized location fostering strong rental demand. This is a perfect opportunity for an investor seeking great cash flow and long-term upside in an appreciating neighborhood, or an owner-occupant wanting to significantly reduce their monthly housing expenses. Don't miss the chance to secure a multi-unit property with significant growth potential in a rapidly developing pocket of the city!
