About This Home
Prime Mixed-Use Live/Work or Investment Opportunity in the Heart of Ambridge Positioned along a high-traffic corridor with approximately 6,000+ vehicles passing daily, 848 Duss Ave offers exceptional visibility and flexibility for entrepreneurs, investors, or owner-occupants seeking a true mixed-use asset. The street-level commercial storefront features large display windows and strong frontage directly across from Ambridge High School, benefiting from steady vehicle traffic and neighborhood presence. The space was recently renovated and built out for a restaurant concept that never opened, offering a strong foundation for food service, café, retail, salon, office, fitness, or service-based use (buyer to verify permitted uses with the borough). Improvements include updated lighting and system upgrades, allowing a new owner to tailor the final finishes to their specific business model. Above the commercial space are two residential units, creating multiple income and lifestyle possibilities: • 1-bedroom unit (currently configured as a studio) — ready for customization • 3-bedroom unit — functional with minor cosmetic finishing touches remaining Both residential units are currently vacant, providing immediate flexibility for renovation, leasing, or owner occupancy. Whether you’re looking to house-hack, operate your business downstairs while living upstairs, or create a diversified income-producing investment, the layout supports multiple strategies. Gas, electric, and water are separately metered, allowing for clear expense allocation and simplified tenant management — an important advantage for investors. With the commercial build-out in place and residential value-add potential upstairs, this property offers layered upside in a visible corridor location. Highlights: • Mixed-use building (1 commercial + 2 residential units) • High-visibility frontage on Duss Ave • Across from Ambridge High School • Separately metered utilities • Commercial renovations already completed • Residential value-add opportunity • Vacant and ready for repositioning Turn this property into a live/work headquarters, a stabilized mixed-use investment, or a repositioned income-producing asset. Visibility. Flexibility. Income potential.
