  • Greene Street Artist Cooperative Vacancy

      This expansive 1,300-square-foot, light-filled studio is nestled in the vibrant Greene Street Artists Cooperative, located in Philadelphia's historic Germantown neighborhood. This stunning space boasts a 1000-square-foot main level and an additional 300-square-foot loft, offering ample room for both creative work and comfortable living. 

      A large closet, originally designed to be a photographer’s darkroom, provides flexible storage options or could be returned to a darkroom. Facing east, the studio is bathed in gorgeous morning light, with the windows that face Howell Park’s old oak trees. It also has a private outdoor space right outside the unit. It's very private, but also feels open and airy at the same time. 

       The communal space features a spacious lawn adorned with mature trees, a community garden (where each member has their own plot), a cozy fire pit, and a secure gated parking area. Additionally, the building offers shared, coin-operated laundry facilities for added convenience. 

    About Greene Street Artists Cooperative (GSAC): GSAC is home to a close-knit community of over 17 artists. This unique space is perfect for a respectful, community-minded artist who values both privacy and creative freedom. Residents are expected to contribute a few hours of committee work each month.
