What's special
*1240 S 21st Street | Point Breeze Development Opportunity* Sitting on an 18-foot by 74-foot lot, this shell property is primed for transformation and offers unique potential beyond the typical rehab project. Inside, soaring ceilings on the first floor set the stage for a dramatic and modern design. A third floor or roof deck could easily be added, and the deep lot provides the rare opportunity to create coveted rear parking—a significant value-add for any redevelopment in this area. Located in the northern section of Point Breeze, this property offers both convenience and neighborhood charm. You’ll be within walking distance to Rittenhouse Square, Sprouts Organic Market, Giant Heirloom Market, Dock Street Brewery, ALDI, CVS, and countless daily conveniences. Local favorites like Breezy’s Deli Market, Chick’s, and the beloved Sardine Bar are just steps away, blending Center City energy with the welcoming feel of a close-knit community. Whether you’re envisioning a high-end resale, a rental investment, or a custom modern home complete with roof deck and parking, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity in one of Philadelphia’s most desirable neighborhoods.
