657 CHILDS AVE, Drexel Hill, PA 19026

• 2,152 sqft

Property Description

Experience the rare opportunity to own a fully detached, free-standing duplex in the heart of Drexel Hill’s highly sought-after Drexelbrook community. This well-maintained, turnkey property offers the privacy and tranquility of a single-family home with the financial power of a multi-unit investment. Unlike traditional twin or row-home duplexes, this building features no shared walls, ensuring a quiet environment for both occupants. The property is a true "turnkey" asset featuring three separate income streams. The first-floor unit (2 bed/1 bath) is currently vacant and ready for a new owner-occupant or a fresh lease at market rate (previously $1,550/mo). The second-floor unit (2 bed/1 bath) features a reliable, long-term tenant at $1,450/mo, while a secure, dedicated basement storage area provides an additional $200/mo in revenue. Strategic upgrades provide immediate peace of mind, including an $8,000 exterior sewer line curb trap and 4" cleanout replaced in March 2025. All units are separately metered, and tenants are responsible for all utilities, keeping owner overhead to a minimum. The location is a commuter’s dream, situated just minutes from the Aronimink SEPTA trolley stop for seamless access to Philadelphia. Residents will also enjoy being steps away from local favorites like Artillery Brewing, neighborhood shops, and various restaurants. Whether you are an investor looking for a high-performing asset or an owner-occupant looking to have your mortgage offset by rental income, this unique detached duplex is a must-see. Open House scheduled for Saturday, May 2nd from 11:00am-2:00pm to see the entire building
