About 1528-30 North St
1528-30 NORTH: a charmingly unique, historic redbrick "duplex" in Fairmount — one of Philly's most desirable + consistent locations. The property is labeled and zoned as a duplex, but 1528 and 1530 North are styled more like individual rowhomes rather than apartments. One home (2bd) is intentionally vacant for buyers to secure attractive, owner-occupied financing. The current owner's unit (leased month-to-month) is an extravagant, spacious home — not an apartment — custom built with an elevator, sauna, finished basement with bar, oversized primary suite and a skyline terrace overlooking downtown PHL. Alternatively, the building's sizable footprint can accommodate up to five (5) units through redevelopment — buyers are encouraged to do their own diligence — listing agent makes no warranties or representations. Extremely strong historical occupancy, rental demand and rates. 19130 is a a bulletproof rental location/marketplace. Major financial upside exists through various potential paths; renovate both units to modern fit/finish caliber; consolidate both units into a massive ±4K SF single-family residence; or, increase density/unit count through redevelopment. Easy access (walkable) to Center City, world-class shopping, dining, museums, cultural + outdoor amenities, Septa (Broad St Line), mass transportation arteries. Purchase this prime real estate in a Top-10 USA MSA — Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — the top destination in the world to visit in 2026.
