Property Description
Whether you're looking to expand your investment portfolio or explore the benefits of house hacking, 5728 Florence Avenue offers an opportunity to make your next real estate move a strategic one. Located in Southwest Philadelphia near Kingsessing and Cobbs Creek, this vacant duplex offers flexibility, income potential, and the convenience of city living.
The property features two separate residential units, each with its own character and possibilities. The first-floor unit offers one bedroom, a spacious living area, and access to a finished basement with laundry facilities and an additional half bathroom. While some of the finishes reflect an earlier era, the space is functional and offers an opportunity for future improvements. Upstairs, the second-floor unit features one bedroom, an updated kitchen, and a refreshed bathroom, providing a more modern living experience. Additional highlights include radiator heating, window air conditioning, a front yard, and the increasingly valuable convenience of garage parking.
Location adds another layer of appeal. Enjoy access to the green spaces and recreational opportunities of Cobbs Creek Park, Kingsessing Recreation Center, Francis Myers Park, and Bartram's Garden. The historic Nile Swim Club is another nearby neighborhood landmark. Public transportation options include SEPTA trolley and bus routes, along with regional rail connections, making travel throughout Philadelphia more accessible. Cobbs Creek Parkway and I-95 provide additional connections for commuters traveling throughout the region.
For investors, the property's two-unit configuration presents the opportunity to establish rental income in an established Philadelphia neighborhood. For owner-occupants, the possibility of living in one unit while renting the other offers an appealing introduction to real estate investing and long-term wealth building.
The property received Zoning Board approval for a two-unit use in October 2026, with final documentation and applicable administrative requirements to be confirmed. Both units are currently vacant, providing flexibility for the next owner.
Whether your goal is to generate income, build equity, or create a home that helps support your financial future, 5728 Florence Avenue is worth a closer look.
