About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to the Dorchester, located on the southwest corner of Rittenhouse Sq. Rarely available, high floor, corner deluxe and refreshed one bedroom condo with not 1 but 2 south facing terraces.
Tucked away in the southwest corner of the building provides you with privacy and yet the city is at your feet. Walls of windows flooding the space with incredible natural light. Two balconies, one off the main living space and another off bedroom, offer additional living space and take in all the city views from sunrise to sunset. This unit has been completely refreshed. Gleaming, refinished hardwood floors, new wool carpet in the bedroom and completely painted throughout. Enter through a spacious foyer with a walk-in closet, large hall bath complete with marble walls and floors, oversized stall shower and a stackable washer/dryer neatly tucked away. Around the corner is the oversized south facing main living space with refinished, warm parquet wood floors. The living room is spacious with 2 walls of windows and access to the balcony. Then there is a separate dining room with access to a chef's kitchen with all the bells and whistles and loads of storage space. The primary bedroom is generous with a large walk-in closet and additional closet space. The bedroom also has balcony for that morning cup of coffee to enjoy the sunrise. Residents of the Dorchester enjoy front row seats to the city's premier park, 24-hour doormen, and all utilities are included in the condo fee. Additional features such the fitness center, rooftop pool and underground garage parking are offered at an additional fee. If you desire the best, the Dorchester is it. Come and live your best life.
