Rare opportunity to own a spacious top floor corner LOFT unit in one of Philadelphia's greatest neighborhoods! This bi-level 2 bed/2 bath residence is located in the former St. Philip Neris school, which was converted to condos in 2002. The exterior of the building still retains its classic urban school architecture, highlighted by a recently repointed brick facade, 7 foot black wrought iron fencing attached to brick pillars, and surrounded by beautifully maintained landscaping. You'll never have to battle for parking on the city streets, as this unit includes one designated parking space in the attached lot perfectly situated at the entrance to the building. The interior unit access is located at the former school entrance, where you then have the option of taking the newly modernized elevator or traversing the comfortable, original, wide steps up to the top floor unit. Upon entering the unit, you'll immediately notice the bright natural light flooding the rooms. With large, northeasterly facing windows, mornings and daytime hours have an abundance of sunshine to enhance positive mood as well as terrific views of charming Queen Village. The galley kitchen features an island separating the kitchen from a spacious living room. Walk through the kitchen to find yourself in a long and lovely dining room complete with custom built-in pantry and beautiful crystal chandelier. Continue through the dining room to a well lit corner nook perfect for your home office. On the opposite side of the unit is a large bedroom with en-suite full Jack & Jill bathroom and large walk-in closet. Moving up to the second level, you will find yourself in a truly breathtaking Primary Loft Bedroom Suite overlooking the 1st floor. This stunning room is complete with massive walk-in closet/dressing room, brand new carpets, and a brand new Velux solar powered skylight adding to the feeling of floating in the clouds. The attached bathroom is exquisitely tiled and features a custom luxury shower complete with multi-directional body sprayers and steam sauna. You will also find the laundry conveniently located on this floor. Perhaps the crown jewel of the unit is the newly renovated private roof deck. Sitting on top of the BRAND NEW building roof, Seller replaced the old wooden deck with fresh new long-lasting Trex. The deck itself offers amazing 360 degree views of the City, perfect for viewing not only picturesque sunrises and sunsets, but also the incredible fireworks at Penns Landing and even at the stadiums. Located in Queen Village near Delaware Avenue, this property offers tremendous access to I-95 and all major areas of the city, including the Stadiums and airport, as well as quick access to the Walt Whitman and Ben Franklin Bridges for summer trips to the Shore. There is easy access by car or walking to grocery stores, big box stores and Center City offices. But more importantly, the location is surrounded by Queen Village staples, such as Java Cafe, Pete's Sake, Royal Izakaya, New Wave Cafe, Fabric Row, Headhouse Square and many more bars, restaurants and local small businesses. This condo offers the perfect blend of historic character and modern amenities, surrounded by the vibrant and eclectic atmosphere of Queen Village. Don't miss the rare opportunity to make this unique residence your own!
