About This Home

As of April 2025

Welcome to Unit 1706 at the Dorchester, a fully renovated, move-in-ready two-bedroom, two-bath condo on the 17th floor, offering breathtaking views from every room. This home provides sweeping sights of Center City, South Philly, and Rittenhouse Square Park—all visible from the private balcony, perfectly positioned to capture Philadelphia’s iconic skyline, including a view of Billy Penn.

Every detail of this condo has been thoughtfully modernized with tasteful updates. The newly designed kitchen features quartz countertops, Bosch stainless steel appliances, and a Whirlpool refrigerator, seamlessly opening into the spacious living and dining area. The home features stylish flooring throughout and recessed lighting, offering both elegance and practicality.

The primary bedroom is a spacious retreat, complete with blackout shades for restful nights, an ensuite bathroom, and generous closet space. This room, like every other in the condo, enjoys stunning city views. The second bedroom is equally spacious and well-appointed, making the home feel both expansive and comfortable.

Two updated baths, updated windows with sun-blocking shades, and an in-unit washer/dryer provide ultimate convenience. The entire unit is immaculately maintained and ready for you to move in—no additional work needed! Plus, the furniture in the unit is available, making the transition even smoother.

The Dorchester offers an elevated living experience with 24-hour concierge service, a resident-only rooftop pool, a fitness center, bike storage, and a laundry room. Attached garage with 1 car parking for monthly fee. Valet parking is available, and internet and cable are included for a modest fee.

Located in the heart of Rittenhouse Square, this condo benefits from an exceptional Walk Score of 98–99, a Bike Score of 90/100, and a Transit Score of 100/100, highlighting its unbeatable accessibility and convenience.

Immaculately maintained and offering modern luxury with unbeatable views, Unit 1706 is a rare find. Don’t miss the opportunity to call this extraordinary condo your new home.
