About this home
There’s something about a true factory loft that you just can’t recreate. The scale. The light. The enormous steel-framed windows. The exposed beams, brick and ductwork. And at the Daniel Building in the heart of Old City, you get all of it, with a beautifully designed home tucked inside.
Built in 1927 as a garment factory, the Daniel Building remains one of Old City’s architectural standouts, with its beautifully restored Art Deco facade of buff brick and cast stone. This 7-story building of buff brick and cast stone features a three-bay storefront and wood doors with multi-light transoms. The recessed central entry makes a grand impression and the lobby boasts rough-cut Minnesota stone trimmed with polished Italian marble, designed by Kieran Timberlake and Harris.
Inside, this expansive half-floor, two-bedroom, two-bath residence feels less like a condo and more like a private downtown loft. New, energy-efficient windows face east, west and south, sending sunlight across the bamboo floors throughout the day. High ceilings, exposed beams, painted brick and visible mechanicals preserve the building’s industrial soul, while a thoughtful custom renovation makes it decidedly luxurious.
And then there is the scale. The main living space unfolds rather than announces where one room ends and another begins. Entertain. Work. Make music. Collect art. Host the dinner party that turns into drinks around the piano. There is space here for all of it. A shared balcony offers sweeping views of famed historic 3rd St, the Ben Franklin Bridge and the top of Christ Church.
At the center is a sleek, architectural kitchen with warm wood cabinetry, Viking appliances and an oversized island made for gathering. Beyond it, generous living and dining spaces offer the kind of wall space that begs for oversized art, and enough room for real furniture.
The current owner, a musician, has transformed part of the loft into a recording studio, and somehow it feels as though it was always meant to be here. A grand piano beneath exposed beams, instruments against painted brick and sunlight pouring through old factory windows give the home a creative energy that feels perfectly suited to Old City. Keep the studio, create an incredible office, build the library you’ve always wanted or simply let the space evolve with you.
The primary suite is wrapped in dramatic factory windows and includes a large walk-in closet and custom bath with double vanity and glass-enclosed shower. A second bedroom with frosted-glass sliding doors offers flexibility for guests, work or creative pursuits.
Outside your door is one of Philadelphia’s most layered neighborhoods, where cobblestone streets and centuries-old architecture meet galleries, design studios, independent shops, restaurants, coffee shops and nightlife. Wander the galleries on a Saturday afternoon, meet friends for dinner around the corner, grab a late-night cocktail and walk home. The Delaware River waterfront is nearby, Center City is minutes away and New York is close enough when you need it.
Then again, with this much space, light and character waiting at home, you may find yourself in considerably less of a hurry to get back there. This is loft living the way it was supposed to be: big, bright, creative and unmistakably cool....
