Property Description

Philly CRE Advisors presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly versatile asset suited for investors, developers, care facility operators, or nonprofit organizations. 329 Wister St features a 5,762 sq. ft. main building with a current L&I certificate confirming approval for a 12-room rooming house accommodating up to 27 residents, offering a strong opportunity for group housing or care-related use.

The property sits on a substantial 22,332 sq. ft. street-to-street lot, providing ample room for expansion, outdoor use, or future redevelopment. Positioned in the heart of Germantown, the property benefits from a neighborhood rich in history, strong community presence, and continued investment, making it an ideal location for both immediate repositioning and long-term growth.
