WOW! The Abigail Vare Lofts have been brought back to life! This unique beautiful building was built in 1904 and was once an elementary school to 1,000s of Philadelphians! The school had been closed in 2013 and since then we have had dreams to reopen this historical building to its now home of beautiful apartments for the community!
Most unit boasts so much character, like the original chalkboards and extra large windows! All units include all the high-end features you are looking for - quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, in-unit washer/dryers and so much more! Off street parking options for an additional monthly fee, and ample street parking in the area. Directly across the street from the beautiful Dickinson Square Park and Playground!
