About This Property

People play fast and loose with the term â€œunicorn,â€ but sometimes itâ€™s warrantedâ€“such is the case with this beautiful, meticulously maintained apartment in the historic Moyamensing School Building (built 1848). The conversion was done thoughtfully, with attention divided equally between historic industrial detail and the space/amenity requirements of modern living. The large open floor plan is perfect for hosting, as is the massive 20â€² x 13â€² private terrace. This first-floor unit boasts 1 bedroom, a spacious living area, and an open kitchen, large dining room with sliding door and large windows, as well as a large bathroom with in-unit laundry and garage parking. Natural light floods the condo thanks to its southern exposure, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout, and central air conditioning will keep you cool and comfortable even in hot summer months. And better still, the dedicated single-car garage protects your 4-wheeled baby from the elements and makes this unit so easy to come home to (no more driving in circles looking for parking!). Further, the dedicated 10â€² x 10â€² basement storage area provides an excellent space for the holiday decorations and that pandemic bread maker you thought you wanted, keeping your living area clutter-free. Although weâ€™ve mentioned it before, the private terrace is truly a standout feature of this property. The neatly bricked patio and 8â€² high fence make it a lovely spot for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails with friendsâ€“you could fit a full outdoor dining or living set, or even a hot tub or cold plunge pool, and still have room left over. If youâ€™ve ever had to live with a tiny rowhome patio, you know the value of this 20â€² x 13â€² space cannot be overstated. And now a little more about the building: This apartment is located in a gorgeous 158-year-old building with an interesting and well-documented history. In April of 1848, the Moyamensing School, the brainchild of D. Mallory, was built to help â€œimprove the condition of destitute youth in the riotous Township of Moyamensing.â€ In 1851 the school was re-named the Union School and Childrenâ€™s Home and received support in the form of state financing. It was home to 70 boys and girls at this time; the children came to the school orphaned or neglected and were clothed, fed, and schooled there. In 1905 the building was purchased by Benjamin G. Taite for the Taite and Sisler Tin Box Company. They owned the building for ten years before a larger tin manufacturer purchased the company. In the 1940s, the building found new life as a retail outlet for Rose Auto and Home Supply, which remained there until the early 2000s. It was then purchased by developer Tony Rufo in 2006, and converted to the Fitzwater Lofts, as you see it today.

735-739 S 12th St is an apartment community located in Philadelphia County and the 19147 ZIP Code.

Neighborhood

Bella Vista, which in Italian means “beautiful sight,” gets its name from the picturesque Philly skyline that can easily be seen from the community. Southwark is commonly referred to as Queen Village.

Together, the Bella Vista-Southwark community lies two miles southeast of Downtown Philadelphia, and encompasses many blocks between two of its liveliest commercial roads: South Street and Washington Avenue.

Old-world Italian influences play a major role in the charm of the community, and remains one of the main attractions to the area. Visitors and residents alike look forward to spending a couple of hours at the 9th Street Italian Market, where rich aromas of strong espresso, fresh seafood, and homemade pastas fill the room. Every year, a festival in honor of the market is held and features family-friendly entertainment and of course, delicious foods and treats!

In addition to housing one of the original open-air markets in the U.S.
