Property description
Very nice twin with large living spaces. Has been operating as a student-rental for the last several years. As the new owner of this investment property, you don't have to worry about the essentials - new roof in 2020, all kitchen appliances and laundry machines are new from 2023, new carpet on stairs and upper floors installed in 2023. Even the toilets were recently switched out for new, low-flow versions. Gas heat, hot water and cooking. As an investor there's nothing to do but buy and collect the rent. It makes a great student rental because its walking distance to Lehigh University, Steelstacks, and all that downtown South Bethlehem has to offer. The city inspection has been completed.
