6228 GERMANTOWN AVE Philadelphia, PA 19144

A remarkable property! Zoned CMX2 and ready for any variety of uses. Originally a pharmacy in the early 20th century. Most recently a combination of accounting services and Swain's Print Shop. Now the estate of Ena Swain, noted community historian and respected community leader. 6228 Germantown Avenue consists of a 3 story early 20th century mansard roofed Victorian building. There are no grounds to take care of. Any ground around it is owned by Safeguard Storage which is next door. The first floor offers two retail windows, one on either side of the main print shop door, small office behind partitions, large open space in front and another room in the rear with toilet and sink. Right now, printing machinery is still in the first floor along with printing supplies and various pieces of furniture. One very cool thing about the first floor is that original handcrafted shelving and glass fronted cabinetry from the property's time as a pharmacy many years ago is still there! The second and third floor make up a bi-level apartment. They are accessed from a door at the right front of the building leading to the stairs going up. A door from the first floor business area can access this first floor entryway to the apartment too. The second floor is comprised of three rooms and a bath. Each room has closet storage. The rear room also includes a small kitchen. Storage closet in the hall. A broad set of steps leads to the 3rd floor that offers two rooms and bath. These two floors are bright with natural light.
