109-11 CHURCH ST #8 Philadelphia, PA 19106

This quintessential Old City loft is the last available unit in a boutique condo building nestled on a quiet cobblestone street. The converted factory is located right off of bustling Market St, set back enough to be protected from the noise of the street, while allowing easy access to public transportation and expressways. This unit has it all?charm, character, style and must-haves like original pumpkin pine floors throughout (even in the bathroom!), super-high ceilings, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and tons of architectural details from its former manufacturing life. The main floor is a wide-open, super-flexible space with dramatic original details peppered throughout. The U-shaped kitchen seamlessly blends refined function with industrial touches: Handsome Shaker-style cabinetry with glass accent doors is combined with open shelving surrounding the five-burner Kenmore range, dramatic stainless steel range hood and backsplash, and large French door bottom-freezer LG fridge. The kitchen opens into the living space and faces the gorgeous south wall with two stories of windows. The dining area has a floating bench/shelf made from a reclaimed wood beam and is opposite a restored fire door that doubles as wall art. The living area sits below a catwalk-like cluster of exposed beams, creating a designated hangout space that doesn't lose the drama of those sky-high ceilings. Head up the spiral iron stairs to the spacious lofted bedroom that has a conveniently located washer and dryer and large closet with custom built-in shelving. The spacious, nicely appointed bathroom, located on the main level, has a granite-topped vanity and tub with classic white subway tile shower surround with pretty black inlaid border. A second loft could easily be added without sacrificing the drama of the space, as some neighbors have opted to do, and each unit comes with basement storage space so seasonal items will never get in the way. Your out-of-town visitors will enjoy all the touristy stuff within walking distance, and some of Philadelphia's best restaurants, like Amada, High Street on Market, Fork and Han Dynasty, are a short stroll from your door.
