Very unique property in the heart of Kensington. Located a block from the Somerset stop on the Market-Frankford line. Fashioned out of an industrial building, roughly half of the property is a home that was built out in 2010-2011, much of it with reclaimed materials. The other half is a large warehouse for endless possibilities of use. The roof "deck" is the size of the footprint of the property. Current owners have a very large gardening operation on the roof, along with grill and furniture. Most details in the home are custom (reclaimed basketball floor in living room, stone floor in kitchen, non traditional fixtures in bathrooms, etc).
As the MLS and public records start to fill up, we'll list the details here.
