1216 20th St
Welcome to 1216 S. 20th Street, a beautifully maintained duplex offering exceptional flexibility in the heart of Philadelphia's thriving Point Breeze neighborhood. Whether you're looking to live in one unit while generating rental income from the other, or add a strong asset to your investment portfolio, this property presents an outstanding opportunity. Designed for both privacy and convenience, the building features two completely independent residences with separate entrances and separate utilities, making ownership and management simple and efficient. The first-floor unit offers a spacious 1-bedroom, 2-bath layout with an open living area, updated kitchen, and hardwood flooring throughout the main level. A fully finished basement with ceramic tile provides excellent additional living space, ideal for a family room, home office, gym, or potential second bedroom. The upper bi-level residence is filled with natural light and features hardwood flooring, an updated kitchen, 2-3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and generous living space. Both units include in-unit washers and dryers. Ideally located just minutes from Center City, this property offers easy access to restaurants, shopping, public transportation, major hospitals, universities, parks, and neighborhood amenities. Point Breeze continues to experience strong growth and appreciation, making this an excellent opportunity for both homeowners and investors. While the property has been owner-occupied and has no rental history, its layout, condition, and location offer outstanding income potential. Whether your goal is immediate cash flow, long-term appreciation, or building equity while offsetting your mortgage, 1619 S. 20th Street is a smart investment in one of Philadelphia's most sought-after neighborhoods.
