About This Home

As of October 2020

Come see this large one bedroom unit in Garden Court. At almost 1000 sq/ft this roomy one bedroom unit has been completely renovated in recent years, with an eye towards maximizing storage and modern livability while preserving the period charm Garden Court is known for. This fine home boasts hardwood floors throughout, and windows with courtyard views. All the windows have been replaced with historically certified models that are period correct while being energy efficient. The living room has a decorative fireplace and mantle and built-in bookshelves, custom built-ins and a custom closet, all capped with crown molding. In the kitchen are designer cabinets with breakfast bar and stainless appliances. There’s a bonus room off the hall that’s used as a “pocket office” and another custom built in unit with crown molding. In the bedroom is yet another custom built-in and a custom closet with an organization system. The tiled bathroom boasts a Jacuzzi tub and full size stacked washer and dryer while retaining the original stained glass window (restored and in a new sash) that is a hallmark of all the units here. New electrical service and wiring, recessed lighting and ceiling fans round out the extensive upgrades that were done by the current owners. Garden Court is the epitome of elegant living for University City. Built in 1923, units in this Art Deco complex are highly sought after for their unique charm, period details and great location. Residents and visitors enter through a welcoming, landscaped courtyard with koi pond. The complex’s amenities are plentiful and include a library, clubhouse with pool table, gym and lap pool(itself an Art Deco masterpiece!) plus lovely, shaded common gardens throughout the grounds. The surrounding neighborhood has been rated a "walker and biker paradise" and also enjoys an excellent array of transit options, taking you anywhere in and around the city in minutes. This lovely home has everything you need, right where you want to be. Come tour G205 in Garden Court and see for yourself.
