Thoughtfully redesigned from top to bottom, this turnkey property offers modern comfort and strong investment appeal in one of Philadelphia’s most in-demand areas.

Each of the two spacious one-bedroom units has been fully updated and includes separate utilities (with the exception of water), streamlining expenses and providing practical ease for both owner-occupants and tenants. Inside, the open-concept layouts are enhanced by contemporary kitchens with granite countertops featuring clean, stylish finishes and generous living areas designed for both comfort and entertaining. The bedrooms offer a peaceful retreat, boasting ample space and privacy while maintaining a light-filled, welcoming feel throughout. Sunlight pours into every room, creating a warm and uplifting environment. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street, this property is nestled in the heart of Roxborough, a neighborhood celebrated for its community feel, charming streetscapes, and close proximity to Center City, parks, trails, and public transit.
