If you’re looking for a spacious condo or a multi-unit with rental opportunity, stop and look at this bright and dramatic, yet practical property! This Society Hill duplex has it all: excellent location and condition, no HOA or fees, 2 units, unobstructed east and west city views, updates including custom windows, private roof deck, and 2 gated off-street parking spaces. Primary Unit: Renovated, bi-level, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom (2 en-suites) with modern kitchen and baths, hardwood floors, in-unit laundry, black walnut wood details and cathedral ceiling living room with remote-automated Velux skylights. The roofdeck features h/c summer shower, wired stereo speakers, plumbed natural gas Weber grill, automated container garden irrigation, and sun canopy, perfect for breezy entertaining or private relaxation. The current owner uses both parking spaces. Rental Unit: Remodeled, 1- bedroom, 1-bathroom, unit with views, granite countertops, large, open kitchen and in-unit laundry. From the moment you enter the parking court through the arched driveway to the moment you see the city views from the roof deck, you encounter beautifully imagined spaces filled with light and air. The in-unit laundry, parking, and updates make the rental stand out in the market, and the primary unit is a welcome respite from the city. The dramatic living spaces, parking, in-unit laundry, and large, private roof deck make for easy and luxurious daily living and pleasing entertainment. Note: Masonry repointed/painted in 2021 (10-year warranty), new roof deck and upper roof in 2020, 2 new hot water heaters and recent HVAC replacement in rental make this property turnkey.
