About This Home

As of August 2025

Rarely offered on the market, the south-facing 10th-floor Residence is a breathtaking 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home located in the iconic 500 Walnut. This distinctive building, designed by the esteemed architect Cecil Baker, represents a unique boutique luxury condominium positioned in Society Hill, just off Washington Square. Step into this light-filled space through an elegant gallery featuring high ceilings that flow seamlessly into the open living and dining area, adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows and southern exposures. A striking feature wall separates the rooms, outfitted with a gas fireplace, built-in television, and a custom-lit art gallery. The kitchen, expertly crafted by Joanne Hudson, boasts marble countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and top-tier appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf oven, microwave, stovetop, Asko dishwasher, and a beverage station complete with wine storage and two drink drawers. Adjacent to the kitchen is a pantry with glass pocket doors and thoughtfully designed storage. The primary suite offers a private south-facing balcony, a luxurious walk-in closet, a wine fridge, and a coffee station. Its bathroom is equipped with a double vanity marble sink, an oversized shower featuring a waterfall showerhead, and radiant heat flooring. The spacious second bedroom includes ample closet space and its own en-suite bath. The third bedroom, currently functioning as a den and home office, opens from the living area through large pocket doors and overlooks Independence Park. Additional features include a sizable laundry room with substantial storage, Lutron motorized window shades, LED lighting, an audio speaker system, porcelain floors, and custom carpeting. 500 Walnut offers the convenience of a doorman building equipped with a fully automated parking system, a pool, a fitness center, massage rooms with steam and sauna, a communal area featuring a couple of outdoor fireplaces, a golf simulator, a billiards area, a boardroom, a pet spa, on-site daily chauffeur service, and a guest suite available upon request for out of town guest. This residence benefits from approximately three years remaining on the tax abatement and two deeded parking spaces.
