113 N Bread St APT 10H, Philadelphia, PA 19106

If you're going to live in the city, this is really how it should be done. The National is a gated community with gorgeous courtyards and covered parking tucked away on a historic cobblestone street, surrounded by the history, culture, shopping, dining and nightlife of one of Philadelphia's oldest neighborhoods. High above it all sits this well-appointed loft-style corner penthouse with stunning views from every room and a private balcony, 11-foot concrete ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors throughout and exposed ductwork and architectural features. The wide-open living space is soaked with light from both southern and western exposures, coming from one wall lined with oversize warehouse-style windows overlooking the Delaware River, and the other with both a floor-to-ceiling window and door to the private balcony, giving you an even closer view of the city beyond. The kitchen offers flat-panel Decora cabinets, stainless steel Whirlpool appliances, and handsome black granite countertops, backsplash and breakfast bar. The expansive master suite has jaw-dropping skyline views, a walk-in closet and en suite bath with a granite double vanity and enormous standing shower with frameless glass doors. There's also a second bedroom with access to the full hall bath, and ample storage and laundry closet lining the entryway. If you work in the city, you're less than two blocks to the train and if your commute is a drive, you have easy access to the I-95 and the Ben Franklin Bridge. This lovely unit comes with a deeded garage parking space.
