A rare investment opportunity in the heart of Swarthmore! 239 Kenyon Avenue offers exceptional flexibility as a substantial property currently configured with three apartments plus an additional efficiency space. With projected market rents offering the potential for more than $80,000 in annual gross rental income, this is a compelling opportunity for an investor looking to establish or expand a portfolio in one of Delaware County's most desirable communities. Beyond its income-producing potential, the size, character, and layout of the property present another exciting possibility: exploring a conversion back to a large single-family residence. For the buyer who has been searching for a substantial home in Swarthmore and appreciates the character and scale of an established property, 239 Kenyon offers a unique canvas with tremendous potential. Whether envisioned as an income-producing property, an owner-occupied investment, or the foundation for a remarkable single-family home, opportunities with this combination of size, versatility, location, and potential are seldom available in Swarthmore. Offered at $1,050,000. Buyer is responsible for independently verifying permitted uses, unit configuration, rental projections, and any requirements associated with a change in use or conversion.
