About this property

Historic Renovation Opportunity in the Heart of Fairmount! Zoned RM-4 (Residential Multifamily). Located in a federally designated Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ). Listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. Eligible for the City of Philadelphia’s 10-Year Tax Abatement (subject to compliance with applicable requirements). 1609 West Girard Ave is an historic, Victorian/Beaux‑Arts style, 3-story masonry building offering approximately 5,226 SF above grade on a 30’ x 150’ lot (approximately 4,500 SF total lot area) with two street frontages: Girard Ave (front) and West Flora Street (rear). Ideal for multifamily redevelopment (subject to city approval and historic restrictions). Originally built in the late-19th century (city-recorded build-date, 1965, likely reflects a major renovation year rather than year built), the property has served multiple institutional and residential uses (ex. church, Sunday school, apartment building) over its life. The building’s historic designation recognizes its contribution to the architectural fabric of the Fairmount/Girard corridor, featuring classic Victorian masonry detailing such as the curved entry-archway and the grand spiral staircase. Located just minutes from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Barnes Foundation, Eastern State Penitentiary, The Franklin Institute, The Met, Girard College, St. Joseph's Prep School, North Broad Street, and Temple University, this property sits in a prime, high-demand corridor. Close proximity to multiple forms of public transit such as the Girard Ave Trolley Line and Broad Street Subway Line. NOTE: Sale is subject to court approval. Property is being sold in its as-is condition. Buyer responsible for all due diligence. Don’t miss this rare chance to restore and transform a piece of Philadelphia history in one of the city’s most vibrant and rapidly-developing neighborhoods.
