4943 Chestnut St

This well-maintained duplex has super-spacious units with balconies, on-site laundry, separate utilities and a bonus studio/maker space with private entrance in the basement. It's a no-brainer for any investor, and with each unit clocking in at around 1,300sf it's a great option for someone looking to move in for the long haul and let the tenant cover a large portion of the monthly payment-and a dream come true for creatives looking for a live/work setup. The apartments offer recessed lighting in high ceilings, newer low-maintenance luxury vinyl plank flooring, ceramic tile kitchens and baths, coffered ceilings and gorgeous original doors with leaded glass that lead to spacious and charming balconies. Both have identical layouts with three bedrooms and a bathroom off a long hallway leading to the main living space, kitchen and an adjoining good-sized "flex" room with plenty of possibilities. With a window and a closet, this could easily be a fourth bedroom or home office, or used to make up for somewhat limited cabinet space-or even allow for a kitchen expansion down the road. Fire escapes off the kitchen have room for a small grill. In the basement there's shared laundry, a water closet and access to the workspace currently set up with soundproofing as a music studio. Unit 1 is rented for $1,500/mo with the same projected for Unit 2, which was left vacant for a potential owner occupant buyer. The central Walnut Hill location puts you in a great neighborhood in its own right, as well as being super convenient to both University City and Center City.
