Description

Get ready to be blown away—this loft-style condo is not only stunning and spacious but also quintessentially Philadelphia! In fact, it was featured in Philadelphia Interiors Magazine back in 2002. Located in the heart of Old City, you’ll be surrounded by vibrant galleries, boutique shops, top-tier restaurants, and rich history. Iconic landmarks like Elfreth’s Alley, the Betsy Ross House and Christ Church are just steps away. And the building itself is part of that history—originally constructed in 1840, it once fittingly served as a factory for artists’ paint. But the excitement happens inside Unit 4A. True to loft-style living, the ceilings soar 10 feet high, and the space is an impressive 2,300 square feet. Step inside to a sleek foyer with a coat closet. To the right, Bedroom 1 offers privacy anda loft all its own—perfect for storage or even an additional sleeping space. As you move into the main living area, you’ll be greeted by an expansive open-concept space, ready for you to configure as you please. Currently, it features a living room with views of the Ben Franklin Bridge, a dining area, and two generously sized offices. The kitchen seamlessly connects and is open to this space, featuring Poggenpohl cabinets, a vented cooktop, ample counter space, a pantry, and colorful accents that add character and a playful vibe. Two full bathrooms flank the kitchen—one with a tub and the other with a step-in shower—along with a laundry/storage room. Beyond this area, the primary bedroom provides a peaceful retreat, spacious enough for a king-sized bed and a sitting area for TV-watching or quiet reading. Adjacent is an oversized walk-in closet, complete with a stunning antique mirror. Oak hardwood flooring; throughout most of the condo. Front windows replaced 8 years ago. Security system at the front door. Historic registry designation applies only to the façade, not the units. Deeded parking space at the Parkominium ($105/month condo fee for parking). This one-of-a-kind home is a rare find—don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Philadelphia history in a prime location!
