About This Home

Welcome to 1420 Locust St #14N — a rarely offered 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo perched on the 14th floor of the Academy House in the heart of Center City. This 1,111 square foot home offers a flexible layout, generous storage, and sweeping city views from a private balcony.

Inside, you'll find bright, open living and dining spaces with distinctive terra-cotta-style tile flooring that flows throughout most of the home. The galley kitchen features green cabinetry, stone-look countertops, and stainless steel appliances, with a full-size laundry area just steps away. Both bedrooms are spacious, with the primary suite offering dual walk-in closets and an en-suite bath with a walk-in shower. A second full bathroom with a tub and updated vanity sits just off the hallway, ideal for guests or a roommate setup.

Academy House is a full-service building with a 24-hour doorman, recently renovated fitness center, and indoor pool. Monthly HOA includes all utilities — electric, water, heat, air conditioning, and more — for truly simplified city living.

With a Walk Score of 100, you’re steps from the Avenue of the Arts, Rittenhouse Square, dining, theaters, and transit. Whether you're looking to personalize your next home or invest in a prime Center City location, this one is full of potential.

Please note: Capital contribution fee is an estimate. Fee will be 1.5% of the sale price.
