Welcome home to The Brewery. This pristine corner penthouse nestled atop one of Philadelphia?s most iconic former breweries was originally designed by Otto C. Wolf in 1856 to house the Bergdoll Brewing Company?s City Park Brewery, which operated there until prohibition. In the 1980s the entire complex made up of three buildings -- The Main House, (where this unit is located) The Brewery House, and The Ice House, was transformed into modern condominiums. In 2018 the current owners undertook a complete overhaul of the unit, updating every inch from top to bottom & breathing in an air of clean, effortless luxury complete with sweeping views of both the city skyline and Fairmount park. Imagine coming home to your secure, gated parking spot -hop on the elevator and up to your top-floor condo. Entering the foyer, there is a nice separation between the entry and living space by 2 generous closets. The expansive open living space offers several configuration options, anchored on a large west facing window that looks out over the treetops of Fairmount park. Just beyond, the French doors of your dreams lead to the bedroom, which is spacious, punctuated by the arced windows that beautifully highlight the original historical details of this modern oasis. The entire unit has brand new windows that bathe the space in natural light with spectacular views?the best perk of corner living! The thoughtfully designed kitchen features sleek light grey cabinets, gorgeous white quartz counter tops, beveled white subway tile backsplash and sleek stainless-steel appliances--it is the epitome of maximized space. Around the corner there is a large utility closet complete with stackable washer & dryer. The bathroom is serene, with clean lines and elegantly understated fixtures?like a spa in your very own home. Absolutely every corner of this condo has been renovated with great care, all you have to do is move in. Plus, condo life is a breeze in this well-managed, pet-friendly building. Enjoy 2 common outside spaces?the landscaped courtyard with tables, chairs, benches & gas BBQ grills or get the perfect fireworks watching spot and fabulous city views from the rooftop deck right above your apartment. Amenities include a common bike storage room and an intercom-buzzer to the front door. A fifteen minute bus ride to Center City, UPenn & Drexel, Temple, 30th Street station and easy access to I-76 and the Ben Franklin Bridge. A quick walk to the nearby Art Museum, Boat House Row, Schuylkill River path, and Kelly Drive. Walk to local eateries and boutiques in both Fairmount area and Brewerytown and enjoy a five- minute drive to the big fancy Whole Foods, Target, CVS, Wawa and more. You really can have the best of city living (with parking!) and gorgeous natural scenery at your fingertips.
