### Agent Description
This property is legally zoned three unit building with active rental licenses located in Dickinson Narrows, South Philadelphia, close to the neighborhoods of East Passyunk, Moyamensing & Pennsport. This property is adjacent to a transformative intersection, anchored by a Commercial Mixed Use Corridors and surrounded by residential & multi-unit development and major infrastructure projects. This triplex is three large 2 bedroom/1 bathroom units through the 3 story structure, with a backyard and common easement. Enter into the vestibule and find a hallway with a door that leads to the first floor unit with access to the backyard. The second floor unit is not self-contained providing a value-add upside play to convert into two studios bringing the total unit count to 4 or more units. There are 4 gas meters (1 house), brand new 240 electrical service and heads, 3 water heaters, and 1 heating furnace. Common heat is currently configured for the building but switching to in-unit baseboard electric would be wise and economical. Cosmetic upgrades throughout building, with in-unit washer/dryer on third floor unit. If you are looking to house hack, an apartment unit can be made available to you. All units are currently occupied grossly below market rates 1) $950, 2) $1,100, 3) $1,200 (prior lease $1,400). Within short distance from this property lies East Passyunk Ave, which holds over 160 independent businesses and retail locations, ranging from multicutltural cuisines, entertainment, bars, shopping, retail, the arts, and many other amenities.
