About 1617 N 56TH ST

Calling all investors, developers, and buyers ready to bring their vision to life! This duplex offers two separate apartments. The property needs updating throughout, including flooring, appliances, and cosmetic improvements, but provides an excellent opportunity to renovate and add value. The first-floor apartment features original hardwood floors, some of which need repair, ceiling fans, access to the basement, and a rear deck. The basement has been cleaned out and includes a half bathroom and small bar area, offering additional possibilities after renovation. The second-floor apartment is in better condition and features carpeting, ceiling fans, a newer toilet, and access to a balcony. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REAR DECK AND SECOND FLOOR BALCONY ARE NOT CURRENTLY STABLE AND SHOULD NOT BE ACCESSED. With the right improvements and care, this property has the potential to become a great addition to an investment portfolio or an owner-occupied duplex. Conveniently located near public transportation, shopping, and neighborhood amenities. Schedule your showing and explore the possibilities!
