About This Home
Temple University Duplex! Perfect for a student looking to invest and live for free! Welcome to 3217 N Carlisle Street, a value-packed legal duplex located just steps from Temple University’s School of Dentistry. This rare opportunity offers built-in equity, strong rental income potential, and a location that’s ideal for both owner-occupants and investors. The property features a 1-bedroom unit on the first floor, perfect for a student or owner to live in, and a spacious 4-bedroom unit upstairs that is approximately 90% complete and only requires light cosmetic work to be move-in ready! This setup is ideal for a student looking to “house hack” — live in one unit while renting out the other to cover expenses and build long-term wealth. Plans are already completed and 90% of the rehab materials are on-site, making this a fast-track renovation project with minimal upfront work. Once complete, this duplex is expected to generate approximately $3,300 per month or over $40,000 per year in rental income. It’s also a strong candidate for a 203k loan or a great addition to any investor’s portfolio. The location is unbeatable. You’re just two blocks from Temple University’s School of Dentistry and a 10-minute walk to the main campus, including the award-winning Charles Library, the 24-hour TECH Center, and the Liacouras Center for events and basketball games. The property is also close to the Cecil B. Moore subway station, offering quick access to Center City and beyond. Temple University Hospital is just minutes away, further boosting rental demand, and nearby Progress Plaza provides convenient access to ShopRite, retail shops, and dining options. Don’t miss this unique chance to live, invest, and build equity in one of Philly’s most active redevelopment zones. Schedule your showing today and take advantage of this rare opportunity.
