The finished basement offers tremendous flexibility and can be used as a guest suite, home office, workout room, media room, playroom, or additional living area. With a full bathroom already in place, the lower level provides functionality that is difficult to find at this price point in South Philadelphia.

For an investor, the property is currently tenant occupied at $2,210 per month, generating $26,520 in annual gross rental income, income-producing South Philadelphia rental property with an established tenancy already in place. Location is another major advantage. SouthHouse, Watkins Drinkery, El Mictlan Restaurant, and Philadium Tavern are just a short walk away, while the shops, restaurants, cafés, and nightlife of East Passyunk Avenue are approximately an eight-minute walk from the property.
