About this home
519–21 Emily St is the double-wide South Philly garage you’ve been hoping would hit the market. Behind a classic brick facade, this expansive, light-filled space reads more like an industrial studio than just another garage. Inside, soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and heavy timber and steel beams create a raw backdrop, while oversized skylights pour in natural light - giving the entire interior an unexpectedly airy feel. Zoned RSA-5, the property is best suited for personal use - ideal for a woodworker, fabricator, artist, or collector in need of serious space to create, store, and spread out. For buyers with vision, it also presents a compelling opportunity to explore a unique residential conversion. Buyers may also investigate potential zoning changes for alternative uses; any plans are subject to city approvals. The double-wide footprint is rare, offering room for multiple vehicles, large equipment, or flexible work zones. Toward the rear, a partial second-floor hayloft spans roughly a quarter of the building, featuring warm wood plank walls, and access to the newly installed roof - perfect as a storage area, studio perch, or future build-out with character to spare. Extensive upgrades mean the heavy lifting is already complete. Improvements include a new electrical service with in-slab conduits and updated outlets throughout, a brand-new 8” reinforced concrete slab with integrated drainage and floor drains, new stairs to the loft, and a new rubber membrane roof over both the main structure and loft. Skylights enhance the bright, open feel, and the garage door was replaced at the end of last year. While the property has not previously had gas service, a line has been extended to the exterior for future hookup. Whether you’re housing a car collection, scaling up a craft, or designing something entirely your own, this is a rare opportunity to own a flexible, character-rich space in South Philadelphia....
