Major House Crush: 113 N. Bread St APT 10A
Sometimes I come across a home that makes my heart go pitter-patter, but isn’t quite a fit for the CENTERfold. For everything else, there’s Major House Crush.
My current MHC is a little bite of Bohemian heaven on Bread Street. It’s a fantastic 2/2 corner loft penthouse located in the always-desirable National.
Eastern and southern exposures give one eyepopping vistas of the Old City landscape and waterfront, while an open floorplan and light, bright airiness feel naturally homey and uplifting. The community is gated, with common outdoor areas for socializing.
Contemporary meets classic here, with handsome custom cabinets and soaring windows contrasting with stately fireplaces and gleaming hardwood floors.
This nest was built in 2006, but has a timeless feel commensurate with the neighborhood surrounding it. High ceilings, exposed ductwork, and recessed lighting mesh the sexy, pseudo-industrial feel of a warehouse conversion with the hallmarks of a luxury home.
Sleek and sexy is the prevailing style in the spaces where you want a bit of modern glam: the kitchen and bathrooms.
Slick granite and stainless appliances adorn the sunny, open kitchen, with room for a dining table right around the corner! The bathrooms are all effortless cool, with lovely tilework and glass-doored steam showers.
If you read my blog posts here, you know I’ve got a serious fetish for built-ins. This home delivers. From gorgeous, towering shelves in the office to the showstopping unit surrounding the living room fireplace, there’s always a place to set something special or pretty.
And as if you needed more persuasion that this home is thebomb.com — two underground, secured parking spaces come deeded with the unit. Two, two, TWO. Holy cow.
Unlike a normal crush, I’m totally willing to share my love with you. As you can see, this condo’s a steal, especially at $949,999. Finding something this fantastic in Old City for <$1 mil is an accomplishment, and walking in is a guaranteed coup de foudre. You owe it to yourself to check it out.
