Passyunk Square, Philadelphia, PA 19147

The vibrancy of Philly's Passyunk Square neighborhood is the perfect match for the one-of-a-kind property at 1226 S 8th St. A storied past, including uses as a social club and a speakeasy dating back to prohibition, has led to its current life as a live/work building, offering flexible spaces, an expansive bedroom suite, a full kitchen, and a private patio. The main level has a massive open space that takes full advantage of the extra-wide 20'+ lot and soaring 12' ceilings. There's a bar, soundproofing, and a separate control room for audio/visual work. This space would be ideal for large gatherings, rehearsals, fitness classes, divided work areas, or a traditional living room and dining area. At the rear, a half bathroom and a storage room flank a full kitchen with a restaurant-style 6-burner Vulcan range, Salamander broiler, and commercial exhaust. Out back, the enclosed trex patio acts as a serene garden oasis where you can escape the city's hustle, ideal for hosting barbecues and al fresco dining. Upstairs, the huge primary suite has tons of space for bedroom furniture, a desk, and a sitting room, along with a walk-in closet and full bathroom. At the opposite end is a sunlit open area with an office nook, the laundry, and a room currently used as a massage studio with its own half bathroom. Completing the property is a huge basement with 8' ceilings, another bar and lounge space, storage, and a half bathroom. Additional highlights include mini-split a/c's on each floor, a new roof installed in 2021 and white-coated in 2024, and a new Buderus furnace installed in 2022. 1226 S 8th St's fantastic location earns a Walk Score of 96 and Bike Score of 81!
