The current unit mix includes: Unit 1 (Front): Studio / 1 Bath | Unit 1 (Rear): 1 Bedroom / 1 Bath | Unit 2: 2 Bedrooms / 1 Bath | Unit 3: 1 Bedroom / 1 Bath (Vacant – Ideal for an Owner-Occupant). Each unit enjoys its own dedicated storage locker in the basement, and all utilities are fully separated for convenience and efficiency. Adding to the property's appeal are four (4) off-street parking spaces, including one within a private garage—an exceptional amenity in the city. The property is uniquely situated along a public drive that leads directly into the picturesque Howell Park, home to Pennsylvania's oldest tree. This tranquil green space offers a peaceful retreat just steps from your door—perfect for tenants and owners alike to enjoy on a sunny day. Whether you're an investor seeking a strong, stable asset or a buyer looking to live in one unit while benefiting from rental income, 5217 Greene Street offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Germantown's historic charm.
