About 1618 S 56th St
Welcome to 1618 S 56th Street, a recently renovated duplex offering a great opportunity for both investors and owner-occupants alike. The property features two spacious units — a 3 bed / 1 bath upper unit and a 2 bed / 1 bath lower unit — each with updated kitchens, modern flooring, and refreshed finishes throughout. The first-floor unit is currently leased for $1,100 per month, providing immediate income, while the upper unit is vacant and ready for a new tenant or for an owner to move in and take advantage of a house hacking setup. With separate utilities (other than water) and low maintenance updates already completed, this property is truly turnkey. Located close to public transportation, University City, and local amenities, 1618 S 56th St offers both convenience and strong rental potential in a rapidly developing area. An ideal addition to any portfolio or a smart start for an owner-occupant investor!
