Property Description
Welcome to this exceptional carriage house nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of Fishtown, where versatility meets craftsmanship in this meticulously renovated live-work space. Built in 1875, this home has been occupied by artists for the past 24 years and the block continues to be home to other artists' studios. Envisioned and restored by the current owner, this home has been lovingly maintained and exudes charm and functionality, making it a true gem in the heart of the city.
As you enter through the lofty 2-car garage, complete with an oversized electric bay door and curb cut, you'll immediately notice the potential for creativity. Whether you're a workshop enthusiast, artist, or car aficionado, the ample space provides endless possibilities for your endeavors. With dual entry from both the garage bay and pilot door, this space offers convenient access, complemented by high ceilings and plentiful storage options. On the first level, you’ll discover a bedroom, luxurious bathroom, and a well-appointed kitchenette. Boasting oversized windows for plenty of light and a glass door leading to an enclosed rear patio. A full washer/dryer adds to the practicality of this space.
Ascend the private stairwell to the second level, flooded in natural light. There’s a sizable living room and sleeping area, banquette dining, clever built-ins, and custom cabinetry throughout. The stylish bathroom features subway tile and a stall shower, while the chef’s kitchen features plenty of storage and workspace for your culinary adventures. Step out onto the large back deck, perfect for gardening, playing with pets, or dining al fresco. Additionally, enjoy the comfort of zoned heating with a mini-split on the second level, offering air conditioning for those warmer days. Although this live-work space is move-in-ready, the potential for additions and alterations would be straightforward and more affordable given the ease of the already exposed mechanical systems and permissible building regulations in the area.
Experience the best of both worlds in this unique carriage house, where historic charm meets contemporary living. With its central location and abundance of amenities, this lively neighborhood offers the perfect blend of convenience and functionality. Close to the city’s best restaurants, cafes, galleries, and shops, and with easy access to public transportation for a short commute to Center City. In close proximity to I-95 and the bridges, ensuring seamless connectivity for commuters and travelers alike. Don't miss your chance to call this versatile space your own oasis in the heart of Fishtown.
