About This Home
As of August 2019Stunning, NYC-style condo in the heart of historic Olde City! Rustic wood floors, 10 ft ceilings and tall windows with views of Chestnut Street create a living space full of old world charm. The newly renovated kitchen with brand new stainless steel appliances and beautiful granite counters, backsplash and island create an open concept layout. The kitchen offers tons of cabinet space with over mount and under mount lighting. A brand new HVAC system and renovated bathroom along with custom double Shogi screens that enclose the bedroom and classic door that opens to the spacious living room complete this unique condo. The tall living room windows provide views of The Museum of the American Revolution and the Independence Historical Library. Double pane windows along the alley side create a quiet environment. This unit has the entire second floor of this 4-unit condo building with beaux arts architecture. 229 Chestnut is only a 1/2 block from the historic park, 2 blocks from a dog park, and steps away from fabulous restaurants, coffee shops, and nightlife. Building is pet friendly. Garage parking nearby.
