Description

A distinguished, secure entry and gilded elevators provide a sense of arrival, setting the tone for the refined living experience that follows.
The home opens to a beautifully scaled open living and dining space, where coffee colored wood floors, custom built-in shelving, and a striking stone-surround electric fireplace create warmth and architectural interest. A wall of oversized windows floods the interior with natural light throughout the day, enhancing the home’s inviting, serene ambiance.
The recently renovated kitchen is both timeless and functional—thoughtfully designed with JennAir appliances, an LG oven, classic gray shaker cabinetry, stone countertops, a clean-lined tile backsplash, and a generous island that anchors the space for entertaining or everyday living.
The primary suite is a calm and private retreat, offering excellent storage and a spa-inspired en-suite bath featuring a double vanity, glass-enclosed shower, and a deep soaking tub. A versatile second bedroom—ideal for guests, a home office, or additional living space—is complemented by a beautifully updated hall bath.
An exceptional and rarely found amenity enhances daily living: a private laundry and storage room located directly across the hall, complete with a tankless water heater and 200-amp electric service, bringing peace of mind and practicality to this elegant residence.
Quietly positioned within a meticulously maintained building, this home offers the best of Center City living—steps from world-class dining, shopping, cultural institutions, and transportation—while maintaining a sense of retreat and discretion.
