Like many formerly industrial neighbourhoods across the world, Callowhill in Philadelphia is emerging as one of the city's artsier corners. This new identity is captured in this gorgeous apartment found in the district, especially with the vibrant mural in the living space created by a local artist. The building in which the home was used by a major manufacturer and there are several industrial features that remain, including the tall ceilings and the huge panelled window that stretches across the far wall, bringing the double whammy of natural light and views of the skyline. The grey kitchen complete with a minimalist island fits in with the style of the space well and is plenty big enough for whipping up big dinners. If the address gets you in the mood to wander around some exhibitions, you're in an excellent location. The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is six minutes' walk around the corner, while the Barnes Foundation can be reached in fifteen on foot.
