This spacious bilevel condo in the heart of Chinatown has all the hallmarks of a loft conversion: soaring 20' ceilings with dramatic 15-foot windows; exposed brick, beams and ductwork; a floating iron staircase crafted by a notable local blacksmith; and oak flooring throughout. The main living space gets beautiful natural light from its western exposure, and the windows have custom phantom blinds. At the opposite end of this space there's a sleek kitchen with contemporary flat-panel UltraCraft cabinetry, black granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a cool commercial-grade stainless steel prep table. Behind this large main space is the first bedroom, which features a clever window cutout that can easily have a glass panel installed for more privacy; it has a large bathroom with marble finishes (an upgrade from the original builder's standard) and an enormous laundry and storage room tucked behind it. This floor also offers a huge coat closet. Upstairs is the lofted primary bedroom with a private marble bath with Jacuzzi tub, where the original exposed timber continues in the ceiling, plus a large utility room with space for more storage. The historic Pitcairn Building is a pet-friendly elevator building with secured entry, mail room and bike storage, just steps from Reading Terminal Market and Market East station.
