Property Description
This fully renovated two-bedroom residence, thoughtfully integrated above a spacious four-car garage, offers a rare opportunity to combine stylish urban living with versatile creative or professional space. The home is designed to meet the needs of today's modern lifestyle, providing a seamless live-work environment that caters to artists, entrepreneurs, remote professionals, and anyone seeking both comfort and inspiration under one roof. It has been used solely for residential purposes for the past 20 years, but its mixed-use zoning also allows for commercial use. The living quarters are warm, modern, and filled with natural light, offering a welcoming retreat from the vibrant energy below. With New York-style energy and industrial charm brought directly to the vibrant streets of South Philadelphia, this unique space delivers a rare urban experience. The large garage below isn't just for parking (though fitting four cars in the city is a rarity); it can easily be transformed into an expansive artist studio, home office, gallery, or even a client-facing business space. The connection between the living space and the garage makes the property especially ideal for anyone looking to live where they work without sacrificing style or comfort. Step outside onto the extraordinary private deck, an expansive outdoor sanctuary that's perfect for entertaining, hosting open studio events, or simply enjoying a quiet evening under the city sky. Situated in the heart of the iconic Italian Market, this home places you in one of Philadelphia's most historic and culturally rich neighborhoods-just steps from local markets, cafés, boutiques, and some of the best food in the city. Whether you're looking to run a business from home, host creative gatherings, or simply enjoy a flexible and inspiring lifestyle in a thriving urban setting, this one-of-a-kind property offers limitless potential in one of Philadelphia's most sought-after neighborhoods.
