    What's special

    Why live in a cookie-cutter condo when you can own a piece of Philadelphia history? Located in the heart of Old City, Philly's most historic neighborhood, this bi-level corner unit has maintained its classic charm and industrial loft aesthetic while offering all the comforts and practicality of modern design. Originally used as a telegraph office in the late 1800s, then as textile factory through the mid-1900s, it later housed an insurance company before the building was carefully renovated into condos in the early 2000s. Featuring original wide-plank wood floors, high ceilings and gorgeous architectural windows with south and east exposures, this home affords so much natural light your plants will be in heaven! Dock your bike in the stairwell and enter the fully equipped kitchen with separate closets for pantry storage and laundry. Just beyond the kitchen, the atrium style stairwell creates a wonderful dining area open to the generous living space- perfect for entertaining! Upstairs, the open stairwell and hallway separate the two bedrooms and two bathrooms, affording privacy rarely found in loft-style living. The master suite showcases an original gear mounted into the ceiling, a jaw dropping nod to the building's industrial roots. With over 1600 square feet of living space, ample closets and central air this home is as practical as it is unique. Access to the roof is available through the unit with the potential for an unparalleled roof deck. Just out your front door, Old City is one of Philly's most popular destinations for historical sites and treasures as well as dining, nightlife, art galleries, museums, boutiques, theaters and a host of year-round street festivals. Start planning your housewarming party? your new home is here!
