About this home
Are you looking to create a modern city sanctuary that a simple drive-by could never reveal? Are you looking for a built-in professional workspace? Are you searching for a rare "blank canvas" lot in the city where your dog can run, children can play, or your gardening dreams can take root? Or perhaps you are an investor or owner-occupant looking for a property where consistent rental income can directly support your mortgage payments? If so, 1217 and 1219 N. 6th Street offer an exceptional opportunity in a vibrant Philadelphia corridor. Located where South Kensington meets the energy of Northern Liberties and Fishtown, this unique package combines a legal duplex with a sprawling adjacent lot. The location is further enhanced by its proximity to the historic Farmer’s Hall project, a 19th-century landmark currently transforming into a hub of luxury apartments and retail. This development brings high-end amenities and energy to the block while meticulously preserving the neighborhood’s historic fabric. The residence at 1217 N. 6th Street offers two distinct living experiences. The freshly renovated first-floor owner’s apartment provides a clean, contemporary sanctuary. This two-bedroom unit features a standout second bedroom with soaring cathedral ceilings, ideal for a professional home office, workshop, or dedicated studio for visual or musical arts. Notably, this space includes its own separate entrance, making it ideal for moving large equipment or welcoming colleagues privately. In contrast, the two-story second-floor apartment offers a traditional aesthetic and has been continuously rented since 1998. Featuring two bedrooms plus a flexible bonus space with arched architectural details, this unit serves as a financial asset to offset your monthly carrying costs.
A defining feature is the included lot at 1219 N. 6th Street, providing sprawling open space. Whether you envision a protected pet sanctuary, large-scale gardens, or premier outdoor entertainment, this lot makes those dreams a reality. Because these are two separate properties sold together, the future potential is significant. Subject to zoning, the lot offers flexibility for private parking, a garage, or multi-family expansion to maximize the property's highest and best use. Beyond the home, the location offers excellent access to Philadelphia. While conveniently close to the Temple University area—attractive for faculty and researchers—the property also puts Center City within easy reach. You are minutes from the dining scenes of Fishtown and Northern Liberties, where artisan coffee and boutique retail are daily staples. With excellent transit links, this is a rare chance to own a versatile, income-generating property with an expansive private yard in an exciting section of Philadelphia. (Unit 2 is leased; Unit 1 is owner-occupied.) This property is cross-listed with multi-family listing PAPH2618938. Combined Lot Size of both properties is approximately 3660 square ft....
