On the market: A trinity condominium with roof deck in Francisville for $440,000 – The Philadelphia Inquirer

Shes from Southwest Philly. Hes from Sweden.

And theyve been together in rental homes and apartments in Stockholm; Washington, D.C.; East Oak Lane, and Northern Liberties, among other places.

But it was the two-bedroom, 2-bath trinity condo with the rooftop deck in Francisville that prompted Sharne and Jan Algotsson to buy.

We fell in love with the skyline view, and the apartments unique layout, says Sharne, a semiretired interior designer who found the North Philadelphia condo through an architect she knew. We were empty nesters. And we wanted someplace cozy.

That was in 2014. But now its time for Sharne and Jan, a retired carpenter and contractor, to move on. They can still navigate the three flights, she says, but they wont be able to forever, and it would be good to find another condo nearby with an elevator, something a little closer to ground level but still with outdoor space.

The trinitys lower level opens into a kitchen/living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a large central island, leaving space for a dining table or barstools and a TV sitting area. There are also a half-bath and laundry.

On the next level is a large bedroom with a full bath that has a soaking tub. And on the third level is another bedroom, full bath with walk-in shower, and balcony.

Each full bath has a double vanity, Porcelanosa tiling and hardware.

The double-level roof deck has skyline views and space for container gardening and outdoor dining.

There are four units in the building, which is protected by a sprinkler system and monitored fire safety system.

There are still three years remaining on the units tax abatement.

The condo is listed by Alejandro Franqui of Solo Real Estate for $440,000.
