Coming back to the market with a new roof on the main house and garage, new electric panel, and qualified tenants in both apartments generating $2700 a month gross rent, in the treasured Tripp's Park area of West Scranton, is this wonderful investment opportunity. Truly a gem of a duplex. There is room to increase cash flow with garage enhancements and some utility separation.
Tripp's Park, located between Nay Aug Park and Downtown Scranton, is a residential and park-adjacent Scranton neighborhood with hillside streets and a leafy, walkable feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Nay Aug Park entrance on Mulberry Street, where trailheads, stonework, and steady foot traffic set an outdoors-forward rhythm. Early-20th-century homes and compact blocks give the streetscape a lived-in architectural continuity. Cultural gravity comes from the Everhart Museum, the Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple, and the historic Ritz Theater. Green space and city scenery sit side by side, with park overlooks and downtown views shaping daily routines.
