Description
Here’s your opportunity to own a mixed-use property in the extraordinary waterfront town of Delaware City, a place where timeless charm, rich history, and vibrant community life come together in a way that feels straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. This historic port town along the Delaware River is beloved for its maritime character, picturesque streets, and welcoming small-town atmosphere that continues to draw visitors from near and far. Located in the heart of Merchant’s Row, Delaware City’s quaint shopping and dining district, this property enjoys exceptional visibility and steady foot traffic in the town’s most desirable commercial location. Merchant’s Row is anchored by the iconic, Waterfront Dolly Spanker restaurant and inn and surrounded by beautifully preserved historic architecture, boutique shops, galleries, and local gathering spots that give the area its unmistakable charm. The first-floor retail space is currently occupied by the beloved Cake Sisters bakery, adding to the vibrant energy and destination appeal of the district. The storefront itself is full of character, featuring a charming black-and-white retractable awning that creates a classic Main Street feel and inviting curb appeal. Above the commercial space is a spacious three-bedroom, one-bath apartment, offering excellent flexibility for rental income, owner occupancy, or a live-work opportunity. Delaware City is known as a true destination town, with visitors arriving not only by car but also by boat to enjoy the waterfront atmosphere, local restaurants, shops, and year-round community events. Delaware City Day is one of the area’s signature celebrations, filling the streets with food trucks, vendors, activities, parades, and the kind of hometown spirit that makes this community so special. Outdoor recreation and history are woven into everyday life here. Residents and visitors enjoy boating, biking, hiking, and easy access to nearby attractions including Fort Delaware State Park and Fort DuPont State Park, both accessible by a short ferry ride across the river. Whether you’re searching for an investment property, a business opportunity, or the chance to own a piece of one of Delaware’s most charming historic communities, this mixed-use property captures the very best of Delaware City living.
