Wanna reopen Deux Cheminees?

The Frank Furness double-wide mansion that housed one of Philly's poshest French restaurants can be yours for $16,000 a month, including liquor license and basement kitchen.

It's fully furnished.

Deux Cheminees closed in June 2007 when owner Fritz Blank retired for a new life in Thailand. Now, the building, which once housed the Princeton Club, has been sold and the new owner is looking for a tenant.

"Sign the lease today and SERVE DINNER/DRINKS TOMORROW," says the listing.

The space does not include Blank's storied upstairs apartment, home to his cats and his amazing cookbook collection, now at Penn.

The place also is immaculate. Blank, who was a microbiologist in his first life, was the biggest stickler for kitchen hygiene you could possibly imagine.
