Welcome to 706 S. 52nd Street, located in the heart of West Philadelphia! This unique property presents an excellent opportunity for a savvy owner-occupant or investor. Featuring a layout ideal for multi-unit living, the home offers two spacious units, each with a private entrance, two generously sized bedrooms, one large bathroom, and an updated open-concept eat-in kitchen. Both units are bright, functional, and designed for comfortable living. Please note: The property is currently zoned as single-family residential but is configured for multi-unit use. The buyer is responsible for conducting due diligence, verifying zoning, and obtaining any necessary approvals or variances to legalize duplex use. The asking price has been thoughtfully adjusted to reflect the potential costs associated with zoning approval. The property is being sold as-is, offering a solid foundation with strong upside potential. Major updates include a new roof (2025) warranty included and central air, with separate utilities already in place. While some minor repairs are needed, this is a well-built property with long-term value. Both units are vacant and ready for immediate possession, making it ideal for investors or buyers looking to customize and occupy. Conveniently located near public transportation, shopping, schools, and major commuter routes, this property combines location, flexibility, and opportunity. Showings require a licensed agent present. PLEASE lock all doors and turn of lights. For additional information, please contact the listing agent.
