Welcome to 1217 E Fletcher Street, a truly one-of-a-kind hidden gem in the heart of Fishtown. This rare detached Colonial-style home sits on an oversized lot and offers an incredible opportunity for a live/work lifestyle, artist studio, or custom residential renovation. One of the property's most distinctive features is the original historic cobblestone driveway that runs alongside the home and leads to a spacious private courtyard and an impressive detached garage at the rear. Originally a horse stable, the garage has been thoughtfully transformed and includes custom doors, a beautifully remodeled loft space above, a modern full bathroom, and parking for up to six vehicles-an extraordinary amenity in this neighborhood. The main house was originally configured as a three-bedroom, one-bath residence. Over the years, the owner reimagined the space as both a home and artist workspace. The interior is now in shell-like condition, providing a blank canvas for the next owner to restore, redesign, and create something truly special. A full bathroom remains in the main house. The current zoning is CMX-2, which allows for mixed-use residential and commercial uses. The possibilities here are extensive. Renovate the existing structures, create a unique live/work environment, expand upward (subject to city approvals), or explore redevelopment opportunities. Surrounded by ongoing development and investment throughout the neighborhood, this property offers tremendous upside for an owner-occupant, investor, developer, or creative entrepreneur. Buyers are responsible for conducting their own due diligence regarding zoning, permitted uses, and any intended improvements. Located in the heart of true Fishtown, this unique property is just steps from some of Philadelphia's best restaurants, cafes, galleries, and shops. It also offers quick access to Columbus Boulevard, Girard Avenue, Interstate 95, and multiple public transportation options. A rare opportunity to own a historic and highly versatile property with unmatched character, abundant parking, and endless potential in one of Philadelphia's most sought-after neighborhoods.
