Bella Vista Lofts, #515

Philadelphia, PA 19147

You know that loft of your dreams, the one that features all of the character and all of the history, but is also functional and feels like home? Well, this corner unit at the Bella Vista Lofts is prepared to welcome you in all her glory. Upon entering, immediately take note of the polished concrete floors. Coupled with the soaring 18’ ceilings and exposed brick, it’s easy to be quickly transported to an earlier time when the building was first used as the printing plant for Curtis Publishing. On your left you’ll find a sizable entry closet, which is just one of many smart upgrades made to this unit. Continue down the hallway, pass the powder room on your way into this chef’s SCHIFFINI kitchen, which has served as the foundation for many dinner parties among friends. The real stars of this space are the fantastic windows, which, due to this unit’s corner location within the building, are aplenty, and offer the most beautiful views of the Center City skyline at all hours of the day and night. Beyond the dining room area is a clever nook to serve as a food pantry, hide away your Whirlpool washer and dryer, and keep any work-from-home supplies nice and tidy. Take note of the cozy living room and envision curling up with a new read or sinking into a new show. Up the stairs are two bedrooms, each with a full bathroom and an unusual amount of closet space, part of which was made possible with the addition of the utility loft. Enjoy how the light seemingly moves freely throughout the entire space thanks to the floor to ceiling windows in each of the bedrooms, which look out into the lower level. The HVAC, controllable through the HONEYWELL app, was installed in 2018 and the water heater was replaced in 2015. More SMART controls are in the form of Google Nest Protect, installed in 2020 for smoke and CO detection. Last but not least, let’s not forget a designated garage parking space, upgradeable with a lift for two cars and ability to accommodate an electric car charger at owner's expense, and an assigned basement storage unit.
