Description

Buying a triplex and living in one of your apartments is a great way for a first-time buyer to get into the real estate market, have a great place to live, and use the other tenants’ rent payments to help pay the mortgage!
this quirky post-victorian triplex in the cedar park section of west philly’s university city contains 3 very large apartments (one 1 br; one 1-2 brs; one 3brs) and has retained original details while it’s been upgraded and renovated over the years. any of the apartments could be a great living space for an owner-occupant - perhaps especially the 3rd floor apartment, which also includes finished study or living room space in the 4th floor attic. the building’s south-facing sunny location overlooking the green space of cedar park is very convenient to baltimore ave., west philly’s “main street” with eclectic shops, restaurants and bars. or catch the #34 trolley (recently renamed “t-2”) on baltimore ave. and be in the heart of center city in 15 minutes, stopping at upenn, drexel u and the 30th st. station transportation hub along the way. the property’s current annual gross income is $56,400, with a gross rent multiplier of 10.62.
