A rare and exciting Culinary/ Retail adventure awaits in this iconic and stunning Wissahickon Schist Victorian (1883c.)! Zoned Mixed-Use Commercial, and Blessed with 2 first floor contiguous Commercial Spaces and two access points- the sky may be the limit for creating a dynamic and inviting experience in which to work and play. Unexpectedly located in the historic and picturesque neighborhood of East Oak Lane near Philadelphia's Northern Gates- easy access to all points of the Region is brilliant. Currently, a well-established Catering Business, with Commercial Kitchen plus a delightful Tasting Room- a smooth transition may be possible for your January 1st start date (our fabu Tenants are retiring- so happy to chat!). Formerly, this was the beloved Home of a Wholesale Bakery, Cafe, Chef's Kitchen BYOB- and also hosted Cooking Classes! Voted a top 10 Brunch spot for Philadelphia Magazine- the month 'After' they closed- the neighborhood has been clamoring for another eatery- are 'you' it?!?. Fantastic new investment is occurring along 'Oak Lane' as another new spot just hit this tidy and homey enclave- you're in supportive company. The commercial building spaces are technically broken into 2 separate addresses: 800 & 804 ('802' is private entrance for the 3 upstairs residential tenants). '800 Oak Lane' offers the corner entrance with soaring ceilings, TONS of creative elbow room, 2 REALLY Cool walk-in refrigerator/ freezer units, huge bright Windows- for lots of inspiration. There is a connecting hallway through to '804 Oak Lane' as well. With CHARMING street access through the pretty facade- the 2nd Unit at '804' has hosted a Cafe, Chef's Table BYOB Restaurant/ a Retail Bakery (with a lower level capacity for prep space/ storage). There is also a side Court Yard with additional seating capacity. Wide sidewalks, and a nifty Rail Road Bridge view on this Courier & Ives avenue- make for unique dining potential. In past lives, this space has also served as an antiques/ consignment Gift Shop, and as an Art Gallery w/ Pottery Studio in the Basement. Does anyone remember "John's Meats" for the Corner Store? The original photos from the Turn-of-the- Century depicts that they sold "DRUGS!" Fun discovery: tons of tiny antique cobalt blue & green glass viles were unearthed when the newer sidewalks were poured- hmm. The ideal 'current' set-up aligns with the present Commercial Kitchen at connected '800 Oak.' We have been fortunate to host long-term tenants over the decades (family owned since 1971)- who've built and sustained lovely dreams for their own families and surrounding Community along the way. Big lesson learned: 'Philly travels for great food!' Customers have ranged from far North Montgomery County, Bucks County, Main Line, Center City, NE, Northwest, and far South Philly...East Oak Lane hosts a supportive Community of neighbors cheering you on, for sure! If you are 'ready, set, go' with contributing plans of your own; or have interest in talking with the current Caterers about growing upon their past connections- Let's talk about YOUR dreams!
