Luxury top of the line 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 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.
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 building takes luxury, history and convenience to the next level; it is a must see.
