6368 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19144

Property Description

Welcome to Beautiful Germantairy — a unique CMX-2 property on the 6300 block, firmly Germantown by address but within the Mt. Airy Business Improvement District and Mt. Airy CDC catchment. This diverse, active corridor combines small businesses, longtime homeowners, and renters, creating a neighborhood setting with strong potential for an owner-occupant or small business. The property’s commercial potential is anchored by its attached office space, originally added in the 1920s as an upholstery shop. Today, the space functions as a flexible professional office with four enclosed offices plus two open areas suitable for reception, conference, collaborative, or additional work space. With its separate half bath and direct connection to the main property, the office provides a practical setup for a business owner who wants to work on-site while maintaining separation from the residential portion. The property is zoned CMX-2, offering additional flexibility and long-term potential for a buyer interested in expanding the commercial or mixed-use possibilities. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence with the City of Philadelphia regarding permitted uses, alterations, and potential additional units or an ADU. The main building is a distinctive unattached 3 Bedroom 1.5 bathroom fieldstone Victorian dating as early as 1883, with thick stone walls that naturally moderate temperature and abundant natural light. Multiple additions have expanded the footprint, including a large kitchen/dining area that serves as the center of the home. Recent improvements include a tankless hot water heater, heat pump, mini-splits, new roofs, and a refreshed facade. This home could be rented separately from the office or serve as a beautiful primary residence to the use of the professional rear office, redefining what you imagine working from home would mean. Offering two distinctive spaces, one for production and one for respite just steps apart. For a business owner, the property offers a particularly valuable urban amenity: substantial off-street parking. A private driveway accommodates up to five vehicles, supplemented by a two-car carport and shed — a rare asset for a commercial property in the city. Transit and neighborhood amenities further support the property’s usability. It sits directly on the 23 bus line, with the 71 nearby and Chestnut Hill West regional rail approximately a 15-minute walk away. Weavers Way Co-op is close in either direction, and the Wissahickon is an easy bike ride away. A flexible mixed-use property with an established office component, CMX-2 zoning, generous parking, and room to grow — ideal for an owner-occupant, professional practice, small business, or buyer looking to build on its commercial potential over time.
