About This Home

As of November 2024

Desirable 2-bedroom residence in the always popular William Penn House Co-op. Ideal Center City location. Beautifully renovated kitchen opens to the spacious living room and dining area. Quality hardwood floors throughout. Large bedrooms. Full tile bath. Spectacular closet space. The kitchen has 42" shaker cabinets, soft-close drawers, stainless appliances, tile backsplash, and striking granite countertops and breakfast bar. The kitchen opens to the living and dining area, with windows and slider to the lovely balcony. The primary bedroom offers a huge walk-in closet, another walk-in closet, and a 3rd closet. Gorgeous, renovated full bath with frameless stalled shower. All closets are custom by California Closets and Closet By Design. 3-zone HVAC system built-in. Just a lovely residence. WPH is a CO-OP (not a condo or HOA). This superbly managed building has everything--on-site valet GARAGE PARKING (EXTREMELY DISCOUNTED at $100 month/car); gorgeous rooftop pool (only $200/season/person); fitness center (only $100/year/person); 24-hour desk, security, and doorman; beautiful lobby; dedicated on-site management and maintenance. Monthly fee includes ALL UTILITIES PLUS REAL ESTATE TAXES (because it is a co-op). Excellent building financials; Never had an assessment. Buyers pay a $25,000 administrative fee, but there is no 2.139% city/state transfer tax (either when you buy or sell!) and title insurance fees are greatly reduced. This is a Right-sized Residence, Superior Building, and an A+ location just off Rittenhouse Square. 100 WalkScore. 100 TransitScore.
