It offers a prominent street-level presence with potential built-in signs you can put there at the entrance and its strategic corner location on the intersection of two well-known streets to enhance business exposure.

The home features wall to wall carpets, and a neutral décor. The other residential unit, 1503 E Cheltenham Ave, is pretty much similar to the first one, but there is a good-sized covered patio upfront, instead of the “1501’s” enclosed porch, followed by the entrance door into the property. The former business space unit is rather large, open layout main room space with the secured gate entrance, plenty of shelving stands, wall shelves, counter spaces, enclosed space with the register and a vanity sink to compliment conducting of a business from this location. Also there are multiple storage rooms in the back with more shelving units and a powder room. The commercial space is centrally air-cooled for the convenience of customers. Additionally, this property has a driveway in the back for the off-street parking. NOTE: All these three units are sold together in one RE transaction and cannot be separated. 1501 E Cheltenham Ave: occupied on the month-to-month basis 1503 E Cheltenham Ave: still has a yearly Lease until 03/31/27 Mixed-use basement is vacant The residential units are still occupied with nice, good-paying tenant that are current on their rents. This property is being sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS with the existing Residential Leases being transferred to the Buyer at the Settlement. It requires some love and updating but has lots of great potential.
