Property Description

Be a part of Old City-- an unmatched urban experience where culture, convenience, and character converge. Nestled within the history and culture of this vibrant neighborhood is The Chocolate Factory, an iconic condo conversion situated on cobblestone streets within walking distance of galleries, acclaimed dining, boutiques and treasured landmarks. This exceptional bi-level penthouse with 12’ ceilings throughout delivers a sophisticated take on city living, distinguished by its scale, premiere location, and a sweeping view of both Philadelphia’s most historic neighborhood as well as the iconic Ben Franklin Bridge and Delaware River. A dedicated off-street parking spot behind a gated entrance provides convenience and security. You’ll ascend to the penthouse by elevator which opens directly into the atrium foyer of the 1st level via an ornate custom door with gold leaf inlay glass. Here, you will find two large bedrooms, each enhanced with custom doors and hardware. To the right is the primary suite, facing east with bridge views. This large bedroom with wall-to-wall carpeting provides plenty of storage, a built-in bookshelf, a walk-in closet as well as the laundry room, a small balcony and access to the full bath. The modern bath is appointed with a double basin vanity, two medicine cabinets, a luxury soaking tub and oversized stall shower. Bedroom 2 is currently styled as a den/office. Rich Brazilian Cherry hardwood flooring, a gas fireplace, custom built-in shelving, and a wall of southwest-facing windows create a warm and inviting space. Two walk-in closets and a small balcony further enhance this room’s appeal while a Sonos sound system seamlessly integrates tv and music here. Ascending to the 2nd level, you’ll notice the dramatic two-story exposed brick wall and a custom ironwork banister created to reflect the arches of the Ben Franklin Bridge. The hallmark of the 2nd level is the open floorplan that nods to loft-style living but provides refined finishes able to accommodate any style of furnishings. Brazilian Cherry hardwood graces the floors throughout this level and a wall of windows with a French door opens to a large and wide balcony, immediately catching your attention. This east facing outdoor living space is a sought-after amenity, particularly with its bridge view and perspective on Old City’s architecture. This 2nd level provides ample LR and DR space and a kitchen ideal for entertaining or simply sipping coffee and enjoying the city view. Offering gas cooking, stainless appliances, a built-in microwave, disposal, plus plentiful cabinet and counter space the kitchen is as functional as it is dramatic. A standout feature is the oversized powder room, where reclaimed cross-cut wood flooring—sourced from historic Philadelphia structures—has been repurposed into striking tilework, offering a subtle nod to the building’s rich heritage. Notably, this space was originally configured as a full bath, and existing plumbing remains, presenting an opportunity for future conversion. Convenient to commuter roadways and public transportation. Note- for added peace of mind, any fogged windows will be replaced this spring. Dogs and cats permitted
