About this home
Single Family · Built 1920 · Historic
Welcome to 1642-44 Ridge Avenue, a rare mixed-use gem located in the heart of Francisville. This expansive CMX-2.5 zoned property offers endless potential for investors, developers, or owner-occupants looking to capitalize on one of Philadelphia’s most rapidly growing neighborhoods. Spanning a 40' x 100' lot with rear alley access, the property features a beautifully updated upper-level residence with 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a large eat-in kitchen with ample cabinetry. The living space is warm and inviting, highlighted by hardwood floors and a charming wood-burning fireplace. Downstairs, the commercial space has been partially finished with new drywall, recessed lighting, and a clean-out of the full basement, offering the perfect canvas for a retail storefront, office, studio, or additional rental income. The property’s size, location, and flexible zoning make it an ideal candidate for expansion, multi-family redevelopment, or a live-work setup. Situated just blocks from Fairmount Avenue, Girard College, and all the new construction along Ridge Avenue, this is a prime opportunity to own a high-visibility, income-generating asset in a thriving corridor. Don’t miss your chance to invest in the future of Francisville.
