Incredible Space, Endless Potential: A 9,400+ SQ FT Unique Gem in Germantown. Rarely
does an opportunity of this scale and versatility present itself in the historic Germantown section
of Philadelphia, situated just one mile from LaSalle University with effortless access to major
transit hubs. This massive 9,482-square-foot building—previously utilized as a peaceful convent
and a vibrant community youth center—offers an expansive layout where the original two left
twin homes have been thoughtfully merged to function as one cohesive structure, complete with
a central common staircase leading seamlessly to all three floors. The other two twin buildings
are connected on the main floor and offer additional meeting, bedroom and office space.
Boasting an impressive 25 bedrooms (mostly single rooms), 2 large kitchens engineered
for group meal prep and attached dining areas, a dedicated laundry/sorting room, abundant
communal spaces, and a rare, secure walled-in rear yard, the property provides a true unique
footprint for high-capacity housing, institutional use, or creative redevelopment. Adding
immediate value to the transition, the property conveys with personal property including
single-family/twin beds, mattresses, select bedding, various sitting chairs, dining tables, and
side tables, offering an unmatched architectural blueprint and solid operational foundation in a
highly accessible Northwest Philadelphia location.
