House hack this updated West Philly triplex and live in a large one bedroom built for Center City without the Center City price tag - all while building equity in an appreciating part of the city! This 3-story building with basement offers three 1-bedroom 1-bath units, all on their own level and with separate utilities. The roofs have been replaced and inconveniences have been repaired, so you just need to move in, collect rent, and continue building equity. As you step through the front door, you enter the covered porch, drenched in an abundance of natural light pouring through the many windows. You'll find 2 doors here, one leading to unit 1 and the other to the upstairs units. Each unit has an open layout, flowing from front to back, with an enclosed bedroom and bathroom. Radiator heating keeps you toasty during the colder months, and you'll stay cool and comfortable with window units during the summer. The first floor unit has exclusive access to the private rear yard and the basement with laundry. The 3rd floor unit has a penthouse vibe to it. With this property's prime location near University City, you'll never be searching for tenants and you'll be just steps away from a variety of restaurants, transportation options, and top-ranked universities. Seller is a licensed real estate agent.
