Description

Welcome to 2209 N Franklin Street, a beautifully designed, architecturally distinctive duplex that stands out with its bold modern façade, oversized windows, and sleek lines that bring a fresh, contemporary feel to the block in Philadelphia’s rapidly developing Temple neighborhood. Thoughtfully designed with both luxury and function in mind, this property offers two distinct units: a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit with private backyard access and a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit featuring a spacious private roof deck. This is the perfect opportunity for house owner-occupants looking to live in style while offsetting their mortgage with rental income. Live in one unit and rent out the other to help cover monthly expenses—while building equity in a beautifully finished, income-producing property. Inside, you’ll find high-end finishes throughout: wide-plank flooring, granite countertops, soft-close wood-grain cabinetry, and full stainless steel appliance packages. The kitchens are modern, functional, and designed for everyday living, while the bathrooms impress with dramatic floor-to-ceiling emerald green tile work, frameless glass showers, and custom vanities. Large windows flood the space with natural light, and generous closet space adds everyday convenience. Both units include central air, recessed lighting, washer/dryer hookups, and sleek modern details that elevate the living experience. The lower unit offers a private backyard retreat, while the upper unit’s rooftop deck delivers panoramic views, both rare features that increase the rental appeal of each unit. As a new construction property, this home also comes with Philadelphia’s tax abatement, offering significant savings over the next 10 years and making it an even smarter investment. Conveniently located near Temple University, public transportation, Broad Street, and major commuting routes, 2209 N Franklin is well-connected to everything the city has to offer. The temple neighborhood is experiencing rapid revitalization with new construction, local business growth, and strong community investment—making this an ideal time to buy in. Whether you're an investor or a buyer ready to house hack your way into homeownership, this duplex checks all the boxes: location, design, income potential, and long-term value.
