Prime Mixed-Use Investment Opportunity in the Heart of Swarthmore. 6 UNITS TOTAL !! Welcome to 13–15 South Chester Road—an exceptional 6-unit mixed-use asset strategically located in the highly desirable downtown Swarthmore. This excellent positioned property features 4 residential units and 2 street-level commercial spaces, offering investors a compelling combination of stable income, strong tenant demand, and future value-add potential. The residential component consists of 4 well-maintained 1-bedroom, 1-bath units, each offering functional layouts, full kitchens, and ample storage. With consistent long term rental history and predominantly occupied units, the property delivers a reliable and predictable income stream. Utilities are separate, tenants pay their own electric and heating ( gas) bill. Current rents are below market value.
At street level, 2 well established commercial tenants benefit from high visibility and foot traffic in a vibrant retail setting. One space features a large storefront with additional storage and basement access, while the second is a thoughtfully built-out studio with separate baths. Investors have the flexibility to maintain the current configuration or combine both spaces into a single ±3,090 SF commercial unit, creating leasing versatility and potential for increased rental income. Private, assigned parking—a rare and highly valuable amenity in downtown Swarthmore. Recent capital improvements, including a new underground sewage system (2023) and renovations to kitchens and baths in select units.
Value-add opportunity with unfinished third-floor space (approx. 2/3 of second-floor footprint), offering potential to expand unit count ...
