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.

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.
