House of Mosaics, Magic & Mirrors on South Street! | Apartment in Philadelphia
2 Bedroom Apartment in Queen Village, Philadelphia
Summary:
We present to you The House of Mosaics and Mirrors!
This property is the previous home and art installation of Isaiah Zagar, an award-winning mosaic mural artist & creator of The Magic Gardens, whose work can be found in more than 315 installations throughout the city of Philadelphia and around the world.
Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens (PMG) is an immersive mixed media art environment that is completely covered with mosaics, handmade tiles, bottles, bicycle wheels, mirror, and more! Other than the Liberty Bell, it is the most visited attraction in all of Philadelphia.
The Space:
This space is huge & very accommodating to groups and small get-togethers. You will truly feel as though you stepped into an immersive art exhibit with a cool, relaxing vibe. 420 Friendly but NO TOBACCO is to be smoked inside the unit.
The home is stacked with live plants, mood lighting, artwork, two 55" inch smart TVs, and a disco ball on a motor!
The windows have sun catchers hanging in front of them, which shoot rainbow prisms all over the house during the sunny hours.
There are plenty of places to sit and chill in the living room- A large sectional couch, a huge beanbag that can fit 2 adults, a hanging hammock chair and a floor table with 4 floor cushion seats.
Upstairs is where you'll find the primary bedroom. There is also a very large communal sleeping room with 2 queen beds, 1 full bed & a twin bed. There is also a very comfortable & large love seat with ottoman in that same room.
Guest Access:
Guests have their own private entrance.
There is a lockbox outside of the front door so it is easy for guests to arrive at their own convenience and not have to coordinate a key hand-off. Guests will be provided with the code to the lock box in the check-in details.

Getting Around:
This space is in the heart of the action for South Street!
South Street always buzzes with activity, whether on a Tuesday afternoon or a Friday night. Ethnically diverse restaurants, bars that keep the party going long after dessert and galleries and performance spaces help make South Street remain a vibrant and essential city destination.
Business people saunter down the block from nearby Washington Square West and Society Hill to mingle with their more Bohemian counterparts for lunch, visitors flock to the area to savor their first Philly cheesesteak at Jim’s, or a classic slice at Lorenzo’s, and residents shop for groceries, check out a show, or find a Mexican-influenced piece of art from the Eye’s Gallery.
Mirroring this diverse mix of fun-to-watch pedestrians, a wonderfully eclectic lineup of businesses that includes over 300 shops and more than 60 eateries, cafes and bars caters to the crowd. Most stores are independently owned and have similarly minded signage.
The area’s restaurants reflect the various ethnic flavors of several nearby neighborhoods, and several performance venues feature fringe theater and live music.
Over the past decade, the development of South Street’s east side has spread west of Broad Street, but the traditional definition of the district (depending on who you ask) spans up to 14 blocks: Front Street up to Broad Street.
