The Pitcairn Building is a unique and picturesque piece of Philadelphia real estate, located at 11th and Arch Street. Originally a historic structure, it was converted into loft-style condominiums around 2001. These are true “hard lofts”—utilitarian in design, emphasizing open, spacious layouts over traditional room divisions. Discover urban living at its finest in this SPECTACULAR BI-LEVEL 2-BEDROOM, 2-BATHROOM loft located in the HISTORIC PITCAIRN BUILDING IN THE HEART OF CENTER CITY Philadelphia. INSPIRED BY CLASSIC NEW YORK LOFT DESIGN, this spacious residence combines INDUSTRIAL CHARM with modern luxury. Step inside to SOARING CEILINGS (3 feet higher than other floors), OVERSIZED INDUSTRIAL-STYLE WINDOWS that flood the space with natural light, and RICH HARDWOOD FLOORS throughout. The OPEN-CONCEPT layout features a chef’s kitchen that flows seamlessly into the expansive living and dining area—perfect for entertaining or relaxing in style. A striking CUSTOM IRON STAIRCASE leads to the upper level, enhancing the home’s architectural appeal. Each bedroom offers generous space, privacy (the second room has a custom glass door), and comfort, while both bathrooms are well-appointed with modern finishes. Custom cabinetry from California Closets for the downstairs laundry room and a walk-in closet upstairs. Located just steps from Reading Terminal Market, the Pennsylvania Convention Center, The University of Pennsylvania, Penn Medicine, Jefferson Hospital, and some of the city’s finest restaurants and shopping destinations. With easy access to SEPTA, the Broad Street Line, and major highways (I-76, I-95), commuting and city exploration are effortless. This is truly one of the best walking neighborhoods in Philadelphia—vibrant, convenient, and full of character. Whether you're looking for your new home or a sophisticated city pied-à-terre, this loft offers unmatched style and location.
