About This Home

As of April 2025

Picturesque best describes this spacious 3 Bedroom, 1.5 Bath garden level condominium that lives like a 2 story townhome and is perfectly situated in a most coveted Society Hill location just off of Washington Square and Independence Parks. After entering from the gated courtyard and passing through the home's private walled garden space you're greeted by a pleasant open floor plan drenched in natural light (Southern Exposure) through a wall of windows and sliding glass doors overlooking the garden greenery. The living and dining areas effortlessly flow together adjacent to the well updated kitchen featuring under cabinet lighting that showcases a sleek tile backsplash, granite counters and stainless appliances. A powder room with laundry closet encompasses large capacity stacked machines and a sizable home office/media room (3rd Bedroom) with huge walk-in closet completes the 1st level. The 2nd floor houses the generous primary bedroom (18 X 18), a full hall bathroom and an additional bedroom. The primary features floor to ceiling windows and a juliet balcony with more Southern Exposure and garden views as well as it's own large walk in closet. There are 2 storage closets off of the 2nd floor hallway and fully customizable California closet systems in all closets on this level. The additional bedroom to the rear has plenty of space, sizable closet and window overlooking the cobblestone street below. Other welcome updates include newer hardwood flooring throughout and ceiling fans in all 3 bedrooms. If secure garage parking is needed it's available at the rental garage under Independence Place Condominiums with the entrance just across Locust Walk from the St. James Court entrance gate. Be a part of this well managed community that offers a vibrant and convenient city lifestyle - WalkScore 98 / Public Transit Score 100 - yet is tucked away in a quiet and serene setting.
