6200 Dickens Ave, Philadelphia, PA, 19142
About This Home
Welcome to 6200 Dickens Ave – a large corner CMX-2.5 zoned property offering a rare value-add opportunity in Southwest Philadelphia. This oversized structure has already received Zoning Board approval for conversion into a legal 4-unit building, positioning it perfectly for a seasoned investor or developer looking to maximize returns. The property is currently configured as a 4-unit layout but requires a full renovation, making it ideal for a complete reposition. Interior demo has already begun in portions of the building, allowing the next owner to step in and execute their vision without starting from scratch. Please note: Certificate of Occupancy has not yet been obtained – buyer responsible for completing permits, construction, and final approvals. Located in a rapidly developing pocket of Southwest Philadelphia with strong rental demand and easy access to major roadways, public transportation, and the airport. The building consists of 2 studio apartments, one 1 bedroom apartment and one 2 bedroom apartment. In the right hands, this building can be turned into a cash cow. *Estimated rents are based on PHA Payment Standards. Seller is motivated to sell.
