About This Home

As of February 2020

Come home, and the city is at your feet. Light streams into every room through eight-foot-tall, south-facing windows in this 11th floor condo home with sweeping bridge and city views in the well-maintained, historic Western Union Building. This is ultimate living in the heart of Center City, one block from Jefferson University and hospital, three blocks from the Academy of Music, four blocks from Washington Square and steps from great restaurants, bars and shops. An included PARKING lease guarantees you never need to look for a spot; keyless entry provides ultimate security of driving right into the garage beneath the building. Step into a large kitchen-living room combination with cherry hardwood floors, a floor-to-ceiling, custom-built bookcase and working gas fireplace. The kitchen offers gas range and oven, large side-by-side refrigerator, built-in microwave and plenty of cabinet space, some with built in sliding drawers. Custom solar shades in all rooms ensure privacy. The master bedroom has two walk-in closets that have been custom built for maximum storage, and the en-suite marble bathroom has a double sink and separate soaking tub and shower. A custom, double window seat beneath three large windows provides yet more storage. The half-bathroom adjacent to the living room has a marble-top vanity and an inner utility room with stacking washer and dryer and hot water heater replaced in 2016. The second bedroom has a solid wall of custom-built cabinets, and a window seat beneath two large windows for storage. One of the joys of living in The Western Union Building is the staff of accommodating professionals -- from the 24-hour concierge and parking staff, to maintenance that keeps the building humming. A third-floor fitness room is open to all residents and has ample elliptical and treadmill machines, bikes and weights.
