Wellness| 2nd Story Loft (2BR) | 2 bed | 1 bath | 1,115 sqft | $2,400 /mo | 1 unit available | Gorgeous converted church- 2-bedroom loft with extra-large Balcony, loads of fresh air perfect for grilling. Luxury top of the line brand new apartments available at St. Johns Lofts, located at 1217 N Hancock St, is the renovation and reuse of the Hancock St Johns Church, originally constructed in 1855. Located at the border between two of the fastest growing neighborhoods in Philadelphia, both of which have received national acclaim and attention: Fishtown & Northern Liberties. With a walk score of 96/100 and just steps to transit at Front St, Frankford Ave, Girard Ave, and N 2nd St, this location is ideal for the young professional or empty nester who wants to take full advantage of everything these neighborhoods and the rest of the city have to offer. Within steps of your front door you’ll discover your new favorite neighborhood bar (Frankford Hall or Johnny Brenda’s), choose between nationally recognized restaurants (WM Mullherins and Fette Sau), and explore yoga studios (Amrita Yoga), CrossFit gyms (CrossFit Novem), local boutiques (Jinxed), and independent coffee shops (La Colombe and Steep & Grind). St Johns Lofts boasts many beautifully preserved historic architectural details mingled with the complete conversion of the church into 12 amazing new luxury apartments. The land where the church sits was purchased in 1855 from a descendant of John Adams and once hosted Anna Marie Jarvis, the founder of Mother’s Day. A stunning work of stained glass, much of which we have preserved, was dedicated to her memory and placed in the front of the church and will grace the common areas within the building. This SoKo icon is a piece of history re-imagined and re-purposed into modern apartments: (4) one-bedrooms with one baths on the ground floor, each with their own private entry and rear garden space; (6) one-bedrooms with one bath lofts on the second floor, taking advantage of the original openings for the 20’ tall windows and retaining the tin ceilings from the 1920’s; and (2) large two-bedrooms with one bath lofts on the second floor, both corner units to take advantage of the natural light. This building takes luxury, history and convenience to the next level; it is a must see. |
