About 130 N 2nd St #4b5
Experience the perfect blend of historic charm and modern industrial design at The National, a premier gated community situated in the heart of Old City. This stunning two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence captures the essence of loft living with its soaring natural concrete ceilings, exposed aluminum pipe soffits, and a fresh, neutral palette that highlights the home’s contemporary edge.
Step through the dedicated entry foyer—a practical space for coat storage and artwork--into a layout designed for both comfort and style. The hallway leads past a cozy, carpeted guest bedroom and a full bathroom, along with a spacious laundry closet that adds a layer of everyday convenience.
The heart of the home is an expansive open-concept living area, where warm natural wood floors meet oversized windows that frame views of the landscaped community courtyard. It’s a bright, airy space that feels worlds away from the city bustle. The kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring rich teak-toned cabinetry, sleek granite countertops with a breakfast bar for casual dining, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances.
Retreat to the primary suite, a generous sanctuary easily accommodating a king-sized bed and associated furniture. Large windows flood the room with light, while two ample closets provide plenty of storage. The en suite bathroom offers a spa-like experience with a double vanity and a large, glass-enclosed walk-in shower.
Living at The National means enjoying a host of amenities, including beautifully maintained common areas, a central courtyard with seating, and the rare convenience of a two-level, temperature-controlled basement garage.
Beyond the gates, you are steps away from the best of Philadelphia. Immerse yourself in the history of Elfreth’s Alley and the Betsy Ross House, or explore the Museum of the American Revolution. The neighborhood is a vibrant cultural hub, home to the Arden Theatre, local favorites like Race St Cafe, and the artisanal offerings of Riverwards Produce. With effortless access to public transportation and the city’s finest dining and galleries, this is Old City living at its most refined.
