This beautifully remodeled bi-level 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence is fully move-in ready and offers a sophisticated marina-front lifestyle enhanced by luxury amenities and thoughtful upgrades. Originally built as a working shipping pier and later transformed into one of Philadelphia’s first premier waterfront condominium communities, Pier 3 pairs its industrial character with resort-style living to create a truly unique experience. Upon entering, you are welcomed into an inviting foyer anchored by a dramatic wide architectural spiral staircase—both a functional feature and a striking design statement. The open, flexible floor plan is finished with newly installed flooring that sets a warm, contemporary tone throughout. The custom-designed kitchen features a stylish open bar that flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, creating an ideal space for gatherings or everyday comfort. Two sleek, modern bathrooms and an in-unit washer and dryer provide exceptional convenience, while soaring ceilings with massive exposed steel beams highlight the home’s industrial heritage. Large windows fill the space with natural light, and a private deck overlooking the serene courtyard offers a peaceful retreat. Upstairs, the spacious bedroom suite welcomes abundant sunlight and features a generous sliding glass door that opens directly onto the upper pier deck—your second private outdoor space—along with excellent closet storage and an additional large hallway closet. The home has been enhanced with numerous high-quality upgrades, including a high-performance HVAC system installed in April 2024, a newly constructed upper deck, a newer refrigerator, a hot water tank installed in October 2024, complete interior repainting and new flooring, and an updated washer and dryer.
