Property Description

Incredible opportunity in the heart of Spruce Hill! Welcome to 4837 Walnut Street—a legally zoned RM-1 duplex sitting on a deep 20x111 ft lot (2,223 SF) that allows for five units by right. Whether you're an investor, house hacker, or developer eyeing long-term upside, this one checks all the boxes in one of University City's most vibrant and transit-friendly neighborhoods.

The property is well-positioned for easy management as-is or can be expanded or reconfigured to maximize the zoning potential. Located just blocks from UPenn, Drexel, Penn Medicine, and the bustling University City corridor. Stroll to neighborhood favorites like Don Barriga, White Dog Café, Louie Louie, and Hadaramaout, or grab coffee from Milkcrate Café before catching the trolley or subway—just minutes away.
