Property Description
Situated in the heart of Mantua, just a few blocks from Drexel University, Penn, and the Philadelphia Zoo, 826 Union Street presents a unique opportunity for investors, house hackers, or multigenerational households. Although currently configured as a duplex, this end-of-row property is zoned single-family and offers flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. The first-floor unit includes one bedroom and one full bathroom, along with exclusive access to a full unfinished basement-perfect for storage, a workshop, or future finishing potential. The upper unit features two bedrooms and one full bathroom, along with access to a private rear deck ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Both units are separately metered and equipped with their own laundry hookups, providing true autonomy. Located on a quiet street near several green spaces, public transit, and key institutions, this home is just minutes from the Art Museum, Schuylkill River Trail, and Center City. Whether you're looking to live in one unit and rent the other or convert it back to a spacious single-family residence, this property delivers versatility, value, and location.
