Location Location Location! 7111 Emlen Street presents a rare opportunity to own a fully permitted, recently renovated complete renovation of a mixed-use property in the heart of West Mount Airy. Spanning nearly 3,000 square feet, this versatile duplex configuration creates the ultimate live/work lifestyle for entrepreneurs, creatives, restaurateurs, makers, remote professionals, or investors. Expansive bi-level commercial space offers approximately 2,000 square feet of open, light-filled interiors with soaring 12-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and substantial electrical capacity capable of supporting high-demand commercial uses—from ceramic kilns & pizza ovens to studio equipment. The flexible layout is ideal for a gallery, design studio, café, boutique, office, wellness concept, creative agency, content production studio, or collaborative workspace. Digital entrepreneurs will find the space an especially compelling setup. Whether you're a designer, architect, photographer, podcaster, filmmaker, content creator, e-commerce operator, marketing agency, or remote-first startup, the scale and layout provide the kind of inspiring environment rarely found in neighborhood commercial properties. The abundance of natural light, open-span interiors, multiple work zones, and separation between public-facing and private workspace areas create an ideal setting for client meetings, production, livestreaming, collaborative work, or fulfillment operations—all while maintaining the flexibility to live just upstairs. A dramatic custom 8-foot-wide staircase connects the main level to a fully functional lower level featuring additional seating / workstations, a full bathroom, and abundant storage. Above, the private residential unit blends original character with modern upgrades. Original inlaid oak hardwood floors, three spacious bedrooms, a beautifully renovated bathroom, and a generous kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and extensive cabinetry create a warm and comfortable living environment. Skylights and oversized windows flood the home with natural light, while private entry and in-unit laundry add convenience and separation from the commercial space below. New TPO Commercial Roof, new mechanicals, new electrical & gas services, & new plumbing make this a long term worry free investment. Perfectly positioned on a charming tree-lined retail block in sought-after West Mount Airy, the property is just moments from Allen Lane Station, Weaver’s Way Co-op, and Germantown Avenue’s vibrant corridor. Mt. Airy Tap Room, Tiffin, and Mt. Airy Coffee are right on the block, while the trails of Wissahickon Valley Park are only blocks away.
