WELCOME to this stunning top floor unit that boasts all the Industrial Era charm indicative of the historic industrial buildings that define Old City. Individual units have been carved into this massive structure that once housed the factory machinery making those famous bouffant hoopskirts that defined 19th century fashion. The space between landings is vacuous with soaring ceilings constructed with enormous wood beams, creating the opportunity for carving unique loft spaces for residential living. Each unit has at least one loft anchored onto those muscular beams. This unit boasts grand north facing windows providing a continuous light stream that brings out the warm, soft hues to the natural wood beams, wide planked flooring, and red-toned brick walls. Quixotic views of Old St Augustine's, the Ben Franklin view and the Chocolate Works tower hail the historic relevance of the area. Modern touches are seen in the open floorplan: a contemporary kitchen outfitted with stainless steel appliances, a handsome glass tile back splash, and quartz counters that form a breakfast counter peers onto a generous living room accented with original brick walls, a designated dining room and separate office space. A 'library' ladder leads to the loft above, a flex space that can be used efficiently for desired functions. The bathroom features ceramic tile in a tub/shower combo, a contemporary vanity and a laundry closet with a stackable washer & dryer. A long gallery hallway leads to the impressive bedroom adorned with towering ceilings, flanked with stately beams. Wall sconces and a modern ceiling fan inform a stylish touch to the rustic ambiance, and a deep closet has been smartly pointed for optimum use. The wide hallway closet allows for coats and seasonal wear while a cubby foyer welcomes the entrance.
