About This Home

As of April 2025

Unit 2C isn't a residence you buy because it "checks the boxes." This is a home you buy because you simply fall in love and can't get it off your mind. The photos tell the story of the beauty of this exquisite residence.
Treat yourself to the unparalleled elegance at 1830 Rittenhouse Square, the oldest and most distinguished building on the square. An iron canopy, grand lobby, and liftman-operated elevator are just a few of the special details that set this landmark apart. This exquisite one-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom corner unit blends historic charm with modern sophistication. The home showcases meticulous design featuring classic lines and a soothing palette. Cherry hardwood floors, ten-foot ceilings, and architectural woodwork create an ambiance of timeless grandeur. The new, spacious, terracotta-tiled kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and great elbow room - a real dream for those who like to cook. The formal dining room offers custom finishes and built-ins far exceeding anything else in the general price range- from hidden cabinets to full-height, solid doors. This home is a story of room size as opposed to room count. New HVAC, many windows, and upgraded bathrooms complete the look, along with fantastic storage/closets in the master bedroom area. Enjoy intimate gatherings or grand entertaining in the gracious living spaces, complete with the original (now decorative) fireplace and leaded glass windows with stained glass insets. This meticulously redone home boasts a marble foyer, built-in hidden cabinets, Parisian stained glass, and an oval dining room with intricate moldings. Imagine yourself enjoying the beauty this home offers. Seeing is believing.
