About This Home

As of May 2021

Step into the sun-soaked 2-bed and 2-full-bath Penthouse suite in the heart of Center City. Just steps away from public transportation, some of the best dining in the world, Rittenhouse Square & Washington Square West. This home is built with solid concrete walls with only 3 other neighbors on the entire floor, making this home the perfect private city living environment at a price point that is affordable and approachable. Beautiful architectural details throughout, tall ceilings, handsome wood floors. Open-concept living room/dining room/kitchen with white subway tile backsplash, granite countertops, under-mount sink, abundant cabinet space, sleek stainless steel appliances, smooth top range, and undercabinet lighting. Adjacent to the unit is a spacious private keyed storage room that can serve as the perfect place to keep your storage items securely tucked away. You will find the HOA fee to be a bit of a sticker shock, but if you think intuitively, you’ll realize that the majority of your cost of living is encompassed in that fee and your total monthly housing expense is comparable to what you would pay at any other home. Work smarter not harder here, folks. There is no pitch - this is all logic. Everything you are getting here is cheaper than rent. The fee covers cable + HBO, heat, water, sewer, garbage removal, 24-hour concierge, overnight security, package holding service, building management services, daily hallway and elevator cleaning and sanitization, seasonal exterior window cleaning, snow removal, and landscape maintenance. If the above data isn't enough let's further discuss that this building is a fort! It features a secured entrance, 24-hour concierge and security, secured mailroom for delivery pick-up, and it doesn't share ANY wall with ANY other unit... I can't imagine at this price point with these finishes and these modern-day city living amenities that this unit offers you would find anything better at a price point that makes practical sense. The building also features a gym, lounge, mailroom, laundry room, and bike room. Here comes the extra cherry that falls out of the jar, if you will, and you are all like, "Well, don't mind if I do, good citizen!" - the unobstructed roof space just outside your windows offering Southern facing views of Delaware river, bridges, and the city skyline. Book your tour today or just place your offer. The logic and data are sound on this investment. Take advantage of extremely low rates to secure this generational penthouse Center City condo - properties like this come up for sale once every 10-20 years! Plus who doesn't want to live in a hotel-like environment?
