Listing description

Welcome to 2144 N 8th Street — a fully renovated duplex in the heart of Norris Square, offering modern finishes, strong rental potential, and incredible flexibility for both investors and owner-occupants. Whether you're looking to expand your portfolio or live in one unit while renting out the other to offset your mortgage, this property is the perfect opportunity. Completed in 2022, the property was rebuilt from the studs up with brand new electrical, plumbing (interior and exterior), roof, HVAC, and central A/C — giving the next owner true peace of mind with all major systems updated. Both units feature spacious bi-level layouts with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, in-unit laundry, stainless steel appliances, and brand new flooring throughout. Utilities are separately metered for each unit, making management simple and cost-efficient while providing ideal flexibility for an owner-occupant setup. Step outside and enjoy a private rooftop deck with sweeping city views — a premium feature that sets this property apart from the competition. The large fenced-in rear yard adds even more outdoor living space, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or creating a private outdoor retreat. Located just steps from Temple University, public transit, restaurants, and shopping, this property sits in one of Philadelphia’s strongest rental markets with consistent demand year-round. Live in one unit and generate rental income from the other, or fully lease both units for a turnkey cash-flowing investment — the possibilities at 2144 N 8th Street are endless. Key Features: • Fully renovated in 2022 • New roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC & central A/C • Stainless steel appliances in both units • In-unit laundry in both units • Separately metered utilities • Spacious bi-level floor plans • Private rooftop deck • Large fenced-in rear yard • Steps from Temple University & public transit • Ideal owner-occupant / house-hack opportunity
