A rare prime rehab opportunity in Olde Kensington, perfectly positioned between the heart of Fishtown and Northern Liberties. This location offers exceptional proximity to both Frankford Avenue and 2nd Street, making it arguably better situated than much of Fishtown itself for access, walkability, and lifestyle.
Set on an oversized lot by Philadelphia standards measuring 18 ft × 96 ft, the property presents an outstanding opportunity to build a substantial custom home in a neighborhood that continues to surge with development and demand. Just one block from the rapidly evolving American Street corridor, the surroundings are already established with some of the area’s most beloved local destinations literally steps away, including Luna Cafe, Wissahickon Brewing, Punch Buggy Brewing, The Clay Studio, Movement Gym, and Char Pizza—with the full Frankford Avenue scene just three blocks east.
Whether you’re an end user looking to create a standout single-family residence or a developer seeking a high-upside project in a proven growth corridor, this is a compelling chance to capitalize on location, lot size, and long-term value in one of Philadelphia’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
