4372 FLEMING ST Philadelphia, PA 19128

A truly one-a-kind property nestled on a quiet Manayunk lane just a few minutes walk up the hill from Pretzel Park and the restaurants of Main St, 4372 Fleming (aka Harmonie Hall) presents a perfect opportunity to fashion a spectacular and unique home, or an amazing work/live situation for a visual or performing artist. Built in 1891 as a mens singing club, Harmonie Hall was revived in the 1970s by local artist and disabled rights activist, Jessie Jane Lewis. It has since served as a gathering spot for the neighborhoods musicians. The building has been lovingly maintained, with a new roof and solid mechanicals (two zones of heat and air conditioning), and retains much of its original Victorian-era charm. The entryway is a roomy 10 by 16 vestibule where a pair of original double doors lead to a generous, open living area, a couple of partitioned bedrooms, and a rustic country kitchen. The kitchen lets out to a long, private backyard with a secret garden feel. Meanwhile, the basement, with its own side entrance, is partitioned into two spaces; it is clean and dry and is ready for your workshop. A grand staircase in the vestibule leads to the second floor where the space becomes truly spectacular. The upper floor was the original performance space for the singing club. The ceiling in this wide open room soars to 15 feet and the windows on two sides are sized to match the grandeur of the space. At the West end of the room there is a proscenium stage which has been walled off to create a private bedroom. This room boasts a skylight, expansive views down through Manayunk, and its own staircase leading to the kitchen. There are so many possibilities for this spectacular building, book your showing today.
