Perched above America’s most historic neighborhood, this stunning Old City condo is now offered at just $379,900—an exceptional opportunity to own in a distinctive, well-managed building known for its long-term residents. Tucked within one of Old City’s most tightly held addresses, homes here are seldom available—and neighbors tend to stay for years. With a double corner layout in a boutique 22-residence building, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is one of only three of its kind. Soaring 12-foot ceilings and oversized windows on multiple sides flood the space with natural light, skyline views, and the quiet charm of cobblestone-lined New Street. Throughout the day, the bell tower of St. Augustine’s Church provides a calming
rhythm with its timeless chimes. From every oversized window, you’ll take in views of a peaceful garden terrace, singing birds in the treetops, and the historic textures of Old City below—offering the perfect blend of serenity and city life. Just steps from Independence Hall, Elfreth’s Alley, and the Liberty Bell, this home sits quietly on a low-traffic street, just blocks from I-95, I-676, I-76, and three blocks from the metro, making travel in and out of the city effortless. Included are two deeded parking spaces in a secure, gated lot just a third of a block away. Only need one? Rent the second for $250–$300/month and reduce your monthly expenses immediately. Seller is motivated and highly responsive. Schedule your private tour today.
