A closer look at one contemporary getaway located in the seat of Philadelphia’s history.Custom built-ins are joined by floor-to-ceiling windows
Overlooking the Benjamin Franklin Bridge and Delaware River, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom unit in Old City 108 Condominium is a spacious urban retreat. To any art aficionado’s delight, the location is only a short distance from premier galleries, independent shops, the Design District, museums and more. Inside the sleek, chic 2,556-square-foot space, find top-of-the-line amenities and a sharp modern design. “When you enter the loft space, there is a large open foyer for entertaining, which leads into the open living room, dining room and expanded kitchen space overlooking the river,” listing agent Laurie Phillips says. “It is very rare to find such a large three-bedroom home with such a desirable floor plan and 10-foot-high ceilings throughout.” Upon entering the living space, floor-to-ceiling windows with electric shades— which are in every room—border an inviting fireplace and custom built-ins. Adjacent, the kitchen provides all a talented host will require for an extravagant night of entertainment: Viking appliances, custom-built cabinetry with dark stone countertops and storage for 400 wine bottles. After delighting guests with dinner and drinks, walk them along light hardwood floors to the outdoor terrace for spectacular views of the Philadelphia skyline and river. For a little “me” time, make your way into the primary suite and bask in the natural light and minimalist atmosphere. The tasteful gray stone en suite is an ideal spot to unwind, either in the spalike tub or the oversized shower with a French drain. $1.55 million, 108 Arch St., Unit 801, Laurie Phillips, 215.432.4247, lauriephillips.com
