This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a truly rare, fully renovated top-floor penthouse loft in a boutique four-story former fabric mill built circa 1860. The building was thoughtfully restored to highlight original architectural elements like exposed brick walls, wood beam ceilings, ductwork, and random-width original hardwood floors, all while incorporating modern upgrades for today's lifestyle. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom condominium combines period charm with contemporary comfort with a Private Roof Deck and Pilot House. It includes off-street parking for one covered valet garage parking space, a gas fireplace, in-unit laundry, home office space, and a private modern elevator that opens directly into the unit. One of the standout features is the private rooftop deck and pilot house, exclusive to this unit, offering stunning 360-degree views of Old City, the Center City skyline, and the Delaware River. The living space is flooded with natural light thanks to large, operable factory windows and skylights on all sides of the unit. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas are ideal for entertaining. The gourmet kitchen features custom 42-inch solid wood cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Wolf 6-burner gas range with convection oven, built-in microwave and wall oven, Best high-CFM range hood, stone countertops, a custom tile backsplash, LED under-cabinet lighting, a double-bowl undermount sink, disposal, and an oversized pantry.
