About this home

Calling all savvy investors. Now is your chance to take on a corner shell with solid bones in West Powelton and transform it into something special. The property is zoned RM1, giving you flexibility for either a spacious single home or a thoughtful multi-unit layout. The interior is a complete blank canvas and ready for your vision, offering the rare opportunity to reimagine every level from the ground up. Renovated multi-family homes in this pocket of West Powelton have sold in the high 500s, creating strong potential for future value once the work is complete. The corner placement allows sunlight to spill in from multiple directions, creating the kind of natural light that appeals to both homeowners and renters. The neighborhood supports healthy rent numbers as well, making this a strategic pick for long-term holds, flips, or redevelopment. West Powelton continues to shine with its easy access to University City, public transit, local restaurants, and community parks. Blocks from
