Former South Philadelphia pool club property is now for sale and gaining widespread attention.

A property in South Philadelphia that once functioned as a private pool club is capturing significant attention online as it continues to be available for sale. The expansive more than 5,500-square-foot structure, located at 1307 S. Sixth Street, offers both a rich history as a social venue and a unique opportunity for potential buyers.

This property served as the NC Club, an exclusive bar and pool destination during the 2010s, complete with a cabana and a member-only atmosphere. The main floor featured diverse social spaces, while the second floor included an apartment with a distinct entrance, allowing for private residency. Despite its intriguing past, the listing has been active for almost a year, with the Zillow page highlighting the listing since it went live.

Real estate agent Stephanie Olenik recently fueled interest in the property with a promotional Instagram Reel branding it as “South Philly’s hidden pool club.” The video quickly garnered attention, attracting over 171,000 views. The promotion also circulated across various social media platforms, garnering further interest and highlighting the potential of owning a unique piece of real estate in a vibrant neighborhood.

Discussion surrounding the property exploded on the Philadelphia Subreddit, where users shared excitement about acquiring their own pool club, prompting speculation and playful references. The recent warm weather only intensified the allure of this unique offering. Users expressed nostalgia and a desire for the establishment to be revived, sharing memories of fun experiences at the club.

In the past month, data from Zillow indicates that the property has been viewed over 7,000 times, suggesting a growing interest amongst potential buyers. Local residents and former club members reminisce about the charm of the NC Club, which was overseen by Joseph “Joe” Mandi until his passing last year. Accounts from those familiar with the property describe it as a beloved gathering spot—filled with community spirit and fond memories.

The club’s history includes the establishment of the pool on the property, which dates back to 1996, as recorded in zoning documents. The original structure dates back to 1915, contributing to its historical significance. However, images of the interior remain absent from the listing, leaving prospective buyers curious about its condition.

Mario Tropea Jr., the realtor for the property, has not yet provided comments regarding the listing or its renewed online interest. As the summer season progresses, the appeal of this property continues to rise, serving as a nostalgic reminder of community gathering spots in South Philadelphia while attracting a new generation of interested buyers.
