It doesn't get any more "Old City" than this! Stunning bi-level condo unit, with a private entrance at the street level, and rarely offered zoning which allows for the unit to be used as residential, commercial, or mixed use. Built in 1854m this historically certified building once housed Saxe Paper Company; the faded signage is still visible on the brick facade. Check the building's entire fascinating history on HiddenCityPhila (2015/04/a-slim-and-sturdy-survivor-on-race-street/). In 2002, this 5-story building was converted into a 5-unit condominium. Unit A is the only bi-level unit in the building - encompassing the entire first floor and basement levels, for a total finished sqftg of 1,732. The Seller purchased this unit in 2006 as raw space and designed the unit with impressive bespoke finishes throughout. This apartment features 12-foot ceilings (WOW!), exposed brick, original wood beams, natural hardwood floors, George Nelson Light Fixtures, and an updated kitchen with SS appliances and gas cooking. Perhaps the most impressive feature is the enormous Cathedral-style widows, which were just replaced in 2019; FLOODING this corner unit with natural light (Western exposure). This unit is presently laid out as an art gallery, leading into a residential apartment. The "gallery space" could be used as a very impressive living room space, OR, with appropriate approvals, it could be easily partitioned to add an additional legal bedroom on the main level. There is certainly enough space for this. PLEASE NOTE - the second "bedroom" currently located in the basement cannot be lawfully used as a bedroom, since there is no egress to the exterior from the basement level. If you require parking, you'll be pleased to know there is a parking garage two doors down on RAce Street, but this perfect Old City location is walka ble to just about everything! HOA Fees are low because the small Condo Building is self-managed. Seller makes no representations regarding zoning. This home has a WOW FACTOR, so schedule your showing ASAP!
