Property Description
Classic Philly character meets modern opportunity in the heart of Brewerytown. Step into this freshly painted, move-in-ready building that blends vintage Philadelphia charm with flexible functionality. Located just off Girard Avenue-Brewerytown's vibrant Main Street-this property sits among a mix of cafes, creative studios, and growing small businesses in one of the city's most rapidly revitalizing corridors. The lease includes the 1st and 2nd floors, front half of the basement, and rear yard, offering two levels of workspace, multiple private offices, a half bath on each floor, and a 2nd-floor kitchenette. The front half of the basement provides storage or a workshop space, and the yard offers a spot for fresh air or outdoor breaks. Perfect for a low-impact tenant such as a design studio, professional office, or creative business looking to grow in place and perhaps one day own their own building. Lease price is $3,200/month NN (tenant pays building taxes, insurance, and utilities; owner covers maintenance), and the sale price is $525,000. For an investor or buyer, the property offers excellent conversion potential-you could easily separate it into two units, with a commercial space on the 1st floor and basement, and a residential unit on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The gas and electric utilities are already separated for your convenience. A rear fire escape connects the upper level to the backyard for added safety and flexibility. Conveniently located near Fairmount Park, the Philadelphia Zoo, and major routes, including I-76, this property offers both visibility and accessibility in a thriving neighborhood. Whether you're leasing for your business or buying for long-term investment, 1217 N 29th Street offers the perfect blend of location, character, and potential.
