Overview

2838 Wharton Street is a mixed-use property with income-producing retail on the first floor. The ground level is operated as a grocery with a food license, while the upper floor is configured as a residence featuring five bedrooms, a large living area, and an eat-in kitchen. The property also includes a large yard and a dry basement.

This building must be sold together with 2836 Wharton as a package transaction. The two buildings have separate deed and tax records, and the sale is described as including two mixed-use properties along with a grocery business. The listing notes the site is in a rapidly developing area with new construction surrounding it, and it is within minutes of Penn, CHOP, HUP, and Drexel University.

For operators, this layout supports an owner-occupant or investor strategy that pairs retail grocery operations with dedicated residential space above. The combination of a food-licensed commercial first floor and a substantial upper living arrangement can be suitable for tenants looking for a live-work setup or buyers seeking a mixed-use asset with both income and on-site accommodations.
