Welcome to 4221 Cottman Avenue, a 1+1 duplex in the heart of Mayfair offering an excellent opportunity for an investor, first-time buyer, or savvy owner-occupant.

The electric and gas are separately metered, making this property especially appealing for an owner looking to have tenants contribute directly toward their utility costs.
