Property Description
This is a rare top-floor 2 bed/2 bath apartment in the heart of Old City, one of Philadelphia's most storied and sought-after neighborhoods. People travel from across the country just to walk these streets, and you'd get to live here.
Step outside and you're two minutes from some of the city's best coffee shops, restaurants, and fitness studios. City Fitness is right around the corner, a pilates and yoga studio is steps away, and the waterfront is a short stroll. Jefferson Hospital is also nearby. The building's first-floor commercial space is home to Minima, a renowned contemporary design showroom featuring furniture, lighting, and accessories from around the world. It sets the tone before you even reach your front door.
The apartment itself opens into a space you won't expect. Ceilings soar past 13 feet, multiple skylights flood the interior with natural light throughout the day, and the living and dining areas feel genuinely open. The dining area features recessed lighting, and the kitchen offers generous counter space, a peninsula ideal for entertaining, and Whirlpool appliances. Multiple coat closets, central AC and heat, in-unit washer/dryer, and an intercom round out the essentials.
The primary suite faces East and, being on the top floor, catches the first light of the morning directly through the windows. The ensuite bathroom is a true standout: a couple's vanity, a rainfall shower with soaking tub combination, and floor-to-ceiling tile work. The owner invested meaningfully in finishes that feel luxurious rather than just look it. The bedroom accommodates a king bed, desk, and dresser with room to breathe.
On the other side of the apartment, the second bedroom is paired with a built-in nook, perfect as a dedicated home office or reading space. This means your guest room stays a guest room, and your work has its own corner. Both face west so it is perfect for a late-night reading session. The second bathroom features a striking green and gold palette, uncommonly bold and beautifully executed.
The apartment works equally well for couples, singles, or two roommates.
One honest note: the apartment is on the top floor, which means a stair climb. The current tenants, many of whom work in healthcare, have come to consider it a feature because if you walk every day those stairs - you'll have strong quads and a healthy heart.
Current tenants have lived here for three years and have taken exceptional care of the space. It shows.
To qualify, applicants must gross at least 3x the monthly rent, have a credit score of 700 or above (or 2 to 3 years of strong credit history), and demonstrate solid employment and residential history. No missed payments, collections, or evictions. Pets welcome under 50 lbs with an approved pet deposit. Water is included; tenants just pay for electricity and wifi.
