One property, two buildings, endless possibilities. Tucked in the heart of Fishtown, 2671 Almond Street is the kind of home people drive past and wonder about. A rare street to street compound on a 20 x 135-foot lot, pairing an extra wide brick townhome with a large yard and an expansive garage and workspace crowned by a fully finished upper-level studio. Homes like this do not come around often, and when they do, they become the one that got away for everyone who hesitated. Together, the main residence and finished studio deliver 3,782 square feet of room to live, work, gather, and breathe. Step inside and feel it immediately: soaring 9-foot ceilings, warm cherry hardwood floors underfoot, and skylights washing the home in natural light from morning to golden hour. The main level was made for the moments that matter. Picture Sunday dinners and holiday crowds around the extra-large center island in a chef's kitchen dressed in granite, with a Viking cooktop, two wall ovens, and stainless appliances, while the gas brick fireplace glows and conversation carry late into the night. Off the kitchen, a flexible bonus room arrives plumbed and wired with hot tub hookups in place. Imagine ending long days in your own spa retreat, or claim it as a mudroom, office, or cozy sitting area. A sun-drenched sunroom spills onto the large yard, where summer barbecues, morning coffee, and garden dreams all have a home. Upstairs, retreat to a primary suite with a walk-in closet, ensuite bath, and direct access to a rooftop deck footprint just waiting to become your private escape under the city sky. Two more bedrooms offer space for family and guests, and an entire additional level invites you to dream: a sunlit playroom, a quiet home office, a creative hideaway. The finished basement adds even more room to spread out, plus laundry and storage. Then, the showstopper. The expansive three car garage and workspace, heated and cooled with central air and equipped with water service, topped by a fully finished studio. This is the space that changes what's possible: a home office with a real commute of thirty steps, an art or yoga studio, a guest suite, a gym, the ultimate live work life. Build below, create above. And here's where your head agrees with your heart. Four heating and four cooling zones keep every corner comfortable, central vacuum runs throughout, and security cameras cover the front, rear, and yard alongside a full alarm system. The big-ticket items are already done: new HVAC, new roof (2022), tankless water heater (2023), 200-amp electrical service, and underground utilities. A 13-Month Home Warranty is included for complete peace of mind. Want an even bigger opportunity? The property can also be purchased with 2664 and 2666 Mercer Street as a package for $1.1M. 2664 is a vacant lot full of potential, and 2666 is a second garage that, with a lift, holds 6 to 8 cars, or serves as serious storage for your business. Car collectors, contractors, and entrepreneurs, this is the rarest of finds: a home, a compound, and room for everything you've built. Nothing else listed in Fishtown compares. Come see it before someone else falls in love first.

Exceptional South Broad Street opportunity on a prominent corner lot with strong visibility, scale, and multiple potential paths for repositioning. Located along one of Philadelphia’s most recognizable corridors, this property offers investors and developers the chance to transform a highly visible asset in a sought-after urban location. The ground floor is currently operating as a funeral home and will be decommissioned by the seller in preparation for sale, offering a more straightforward transition for the next owner. The finished basement provides additional functional square footage with high ceilings and plumbed bathrooms. The upper two floors are currently configured as a single residential unit and are leased month to month, with the tenant preparing to vacate in the near future, creating added flexibility for redevelopment or reconfiguration. The property is served by central air conditioning on the first floor and basement level with window units in the second and third floors. Mechanical systems include an above-ground oil tank fueling an oil furnace for the upper floors and a newer gas-fired furnace servicing the basement and first floor. A newer roof, installed within the last five years, covers approximately three quarters of the structure, excluding the rear section. An abandoned underground oil tank beneath the basement floor has been emptied and capped, and should be further investigated by buyer. A major value driver is the Wharton Street frontage, where a three-car-wide curb cut, existing two-bay garage door, and loading dock double man door present the likely opportunity to create three-car indoor parking, a rare and meaningful advantage for future residential or mixed-use planning. The property also includes an open deck over the garage and offers sweeping skyline views, including a direct sightline to Billy Penn. For a buyer with vision, this is a rare chance to acquire a corner asset with strong bones, meaningful square footage, parking potential, and iconic South Broad Street presence.
