 VIEW FLOORPLAN

This 2,500 square foot contemporary loft apartment in a quiet 30 unit boutique condominium building provides the owner with both dramatic entertaining space and a comfortable retreat. Enter the apartment by stepping off one of the two stainless steel elevators directly into the apartment’s dramatic foyer and you’ll immediately notice the expansive views, the bamboo wood floors and 10 foot ceilings throughout the home. The foyer opens directly into the huge light-filled Great Room with its kitchen, dining room and living room all flowing into each other making it the perfect space for entertaining large gatherings as well as more intimate dinner parties. The floor-to-ceiling south- and west-facing windows provide unobstructed views of the Center City skyline and the Delaware River. There is also a natural gas line in a living room wall should the new owner wish to install a gas fireplace.

The dining room is set up for 10, but has easily seated 20 in the past for dinner parties. The chef’s kitchen includes a 36″ Viking gas range, warming drawer and refrigerator, two Fisher & Paykel drawer-style dishwashers, custom-built cabinets with honed granite countertops, and a pantry closet with a microwave oven. Immediately off the Great Room is a large Den/Media Room (a bedroom in the original plan) which provides both a place to unwind and an extension of the home’s entertainment space with its custom-built wet bar, Viking wine refrigerator and expansive river views out the south-facing windows.

The Master Suite was redesigned from the original plan and includes a custom-built platform bed which “floats” in the middle of the carpeted sleeping area and has enormous storage capacity, and west- and north-facing floor-to-ceiling windows with skyline and bridge views. The master bath, with Kohler and Grohe fixtures, contains an oversized stone shower with massage jets, a custom double-sink vanity with a stone countertop, a separate toilet room and a linen closet. The Master Suite includes an huge custom-built walk-in closet with ample drawers, hanging space and adjustable shelving.The second bedroom, with its views of the Ben Franklin Bridge, is currently used as an office and has a built-in desk and its own en-suite marble bath with a Kohler bathtub and fixtures, and a custom vanity and stone countertop.

Rounding out home is a marble powder room off the Great Room with a custom vanity, stone countertop and a Phillipe Starke vessel sink and faucet, a private south-facing balcony perfect for morning coffee, two hall coat closets, a laundry area with a super capacity Whirlpool washer & vented dryer, a large storage closet, custom blinds, built-in ceiling speakers in the Great Room, den and master bedroom, and covered parking to shield your vehicle from the elements.
