The Thursday Four: Giving Some Love to the Lofts
It’s no secret by now that I absolutely love lofts. I’m not alone, either. There’s something about a traditional loft that evokes not only classic Philadelphia style, but a clean, industrial vibe as well. To that end, today’s Thursday Four is dedicated to a quartet of dreamy Center City lofts guaranteed to give you a case of loft lust. Enjoy!
1.) 1104 Pine St # 2F
2/2, 2,500 sqft | for rent: $3,500/month
I adore the classic appearance of the exterior, complete with statement shutters and a cheery door!
I go crazy for built-ins, so this living room absolutely does it for me.
This unit has a true second floor, with plenty of room and ample privacy.
Soaring ceilings, a functional fireplace… this is the kind of home that defines “good living.”
This Art Deco-esque window deserved some attention. That’s all.
Enjoy your personal views of the city all around you as you relax on your rooftop deck!
2.) 113 N Bread St # 3D2
2/2, 1,106 sqft | for sale: $469,900
This unit at The National has it all – a classic loft look and feel combined with the best modern details.
The exposed ductwork harkens back to the classic loft look, but the window treatments and delicate lighting tone down the industrial feel. In a word: fabulous.
I love the way that the kitchen curves around and lends itself to a spacious breakfast bar! There’s plenty of room, thanks to smart use of space.
You’ll enjoy your morning coffee a little bit more when you take it on your private balcony with a cute view!

Your chic loft home awaits with a cheery red door.
This is the other side of the living room. Exposed brick and beams with hardwood? Yes, please!
Living room view! You’ll get to climb to your cozy sleeping loft each evening – talk about living a childhood fantasy!
The dark cabinets in this kitchen are a pretty bold and beautiful style choice. Me gusta mucho.

You’ll never forget your way home when this vibrant building is the place you lay your head! I love the red doors.
This galley kitchen is fresh and interesting with the dark cabinets – and drawer space for a microwave! Talk about clever storage solutions!
This living room ticks off just about every one of my boxes: exposed brick and beams? Interesting and clever utilization of space? Soaring ceilings, natural light? Check, check, check, check.
As if the 13′ ceilings weren’t enough, this home also boasts a perfect Walk Score of 100.
The bedroom is spacious and pretty, with exposed beams and plenty of architectural interest.
I like this bathroom! The purple (and the wall decal) are an offbeat choice, but it totally works for this space.
