You can’t beat factory conversions for personality, and this week’s Loft District stunner is no exception. Don’t take my word for it – just ask HGTV, which hand-picked 428-40 N 13th St 6C as a contender for a recent episode of House Hunters!

living

Stunning, wide-open living space… everything you love about Big Apple lofts, combined with everything else that makes Philly way better. 😉

Glorious city views shine though northern and eastern exposures! Convenient, on-the-rise location puts you within a stone’s throw of SEPTA, Reading Terminal Market, and the planned Reading Viaduct Park. The Loft District / Callowhill is fast becoming Center City’s place to be, with an undeniably hip je ne sais quois that beckons the most youthful, artsy, and forward-thinking of Philly’s professionals.

stairs

Steps lead to the mezzanine level.

The building was a garment factory in a past life, and this bi-level 2/2 corner unit bears unique, nifty reminders of this fact. Exposed ducts and joists crisscross high ceilings, leaving the living space open and full of sunlight. A reclaimed sliding fire door opens into the master bedroom. You get all the appeal of an almost 100-year-old home, with the sleek modernity of a stylish NYC-style loft.

building

Pretty sharp for a building celebrating its centennial this year, yes?

There’s plenty of up-to-date creature comforts here. The kitchen is gleaming, and sports custom cabinets, concrete countertops, and brand-new stainless appliances. The master bath is equally tricked out with Italian tile, a frameless glass shower, and a double vanity.

door

How amazing is this door? (The only answer is “very!”)

Oh, and did I mention that there’s parking? There is totally parking.
