7111 Germantown Ave —
A Very Special
Coming Soon Listing
|
Every now and then, a spectacular project comes around that gets me super excited. 7111 Germantown Avenue is that project! It is a premier, highly sustainable condominium address in the northwest section of Philadelphia, co-developed by award-winning firms Bancroft Green (Scott and G.C. Seibert) and Philly Office Retail (Ken Weinstein).
This awesome property is an adaptive reuse of a historic church annex with all new systems and a newly added, beautifully designed 4th floor.
7111 Germantown Avenue features 19 distinctive, beautiful residences. Floor plans and detailed information are available for all units.
All options feature visually compelling original character and layouts with modern finishes. No layout is the same among the 1, 2 and 3-bedroom residences ranging from $395,000 to $1,200,000. All 19 units are available, five are represented below in the Coming Soon section.
All of the units are truly spectacular, and I can’t wait to show them! Our entire team is thrilled to be part of this much-anticipated project.
Key differentiators include:
|
- ENERGY STAR® Rated
- Covered parking with green roof
- Amazing outdoor spaces
- Elevator access
- Very reasonable association fees and projected
living costs (utilities and taxes)
- Large windows, abundant natural light
- Open floor plans, high-end finishes, flooring,
cabinetry, and fixtures
- Pet-friendly community
- Full 10-Year tax abatement

Located within the heart of thriving West Mt. Airy, 7111 Germantown Avenue shares the block with many restaurants, cafes, retail, parks, library, and it’s only a 5-minute drive to the Wissahickon Valley where you’ll find miles of wooded trails.
Enjoy a 5-minute walk to two SEPTA train lines and of course, a quick ride to Chestnut Hill, Manayunk, Center City, and the Main Line.
By the way, project principals Scott Seibert and Ken Weinstein, and I are all proud Mt. Airy residents. We are dedicated to fostering a thriving, diverse community, and to the best practices of sustainability and historic preservation.
7111 Germantown Avenue represents high-end design and green living under one roof. Delivery is expected during the second quarter of 2020.
Please contact me at any time for information or to arrange a showing. Thank you.
