Here's something rare in Fishtown/East Kensington: A large wide and deep garage (18.83' x 81') with off street parking for up to 4-6 cars. This might be the space you need just as it is, or your canvas for many other visions; a dream residence, studio(s), workshop(s), or live-work space - with the convenience of private parking or loading for yourself, family, guests or tenants. The 13' wide x 14.5' tall steel overhead door enters into one large space. Space is huge :1,525 sq.ft. 19' high on the interior - plenty of room to add a second level or mezzanine. There is an overhead motorized gantry crane along the ceiling level, and serious steel reinforcement beams were added to the steel structure proactively, boosting strength and connection along the wall. New water (1") service and main sewer line have just been added. There's been steady reinvestment all around this location - including the historic warehouse currently being repurposed on Huntingdon Street by Emerald and the stunning project next door, transformed by a local artisan. That neighboring property - a fantastic residence with large garage and huge courtyard at 2619-21 Emerald is available also. Inquire with agent for details. This is close to Frankford Ave as well as the Market Frankford train for a 10 minute trip to Center City. Entrance to 95 is minutes away for a direct commute to Bucks County, Delaware and the Airport . The building is easy to show. Let us know what your vision is. -Thanks-
