1206 N 5th Street is a fully occupied, income-producing 4-unit mixed-use building in the heart of the thriving Northern Liberties/Olde Kensington corridor, featuring 1 commercial storefront, 1 studio apartment, and 2 one-bedroom units, plus a shared outdoor space and basement with common laundry. All utilities are separately metered, except water and those powering the laundry, helping to control operating expenses. The property offers a strong 9% cap rate, so you generate income on day one. All leases are currently month-to-month, providing flexibility to renovate and increase rents as units turn over or to pursue owner-occupancy if desired. The residential units offer enormous ceilings and excellent natural light, and the commercial space features a traditional storefront façade without the burden of a historical designation. Lead-Safe Certificates for all three residential units, Rental License, Fire Alarm Certificate, and leases will be provided upon successful offer for the Buyer’s review. Located just steps from Girard Avenue and a few blocks from the shops and restaurants at the Piazza and along Frankford Avenue and Front Street. Convenient access to the Market-Frankford Line for an easy commute to Center City and beyond, this high-visibility location continues to attract entrepreneurs and renters alike, making it an exceptional opportunity for investors seeking immediate cash flow with long-term upside.
