1221 PINE ST Philadelphia, PA 19107

This property offers a tremendous amount of potential. The community has wondered about the interior of the home for years. It was built in 1829 (187 years old) by Joseph & Eliza Shoemaker, Jr. and Joseph operated his drug store out of the first floor front room. The city shows the property address as 1221 Pine Street, but it encompasses 343-345 S. Camac Street as well. The home contains many of its' original architectural elements and the previous homeowner was in the process of restoring the property. City records report 2,643 square feet, but could easily be over 3,000 since the basement was dug out and the top floor was expanded. The exterior has two working gas lanterns, brick sidewalks and a beautiful iron fence. The home has four entrances to both Pine and Camac Streets. The first floor has an entry vestibule with 3 large rooms that have 10-12' ceiling heights. The second floor includes 3 large rooms with 2 fireplaces, one of which is marble. The third floor has 3 large rooms, one with a fireplace, and the fourth floor has one large room with a door leading to the roof terrace. The basement has been dug out and boasts ceilings that are 10-12'. The basement has a sidewalk entrance as well. The home has gas lines for some ceiling and wall fixtures. The previous homeowner installed some new wiring and plumbing. There is one working half bath and a full bath will all new plumbing, but the water is not on to test it. There two other bathroom spaces that have been roughed in. Although this property does not have parking, there are many gated parking options in the neighborhood. The neighbors tell us that the Historical Commission points to this house and its' architecture as a perfect example of the period. This is a must see property for investors and buyers looking to renovate one of the original colonial homes in the area.
