William Penn House, #2213

Center City West, Philadelphia, PA 19103

Known as the best value in Center City (which means many smart REALTORS took their own advice and live/pied a terre in the William Penn House). Here's why: location close to Rittenhouse Square Park, meticulously maintained secure building where many of the staff live or have lived in the building, enormous reserves (never an assessment), no steps to enter the building and all doors into the building from Chestnut St, 19th St & the garage open automatically, covered valet parking for only $80/month + you can purchase guest passes, staffed desk takes packages and assists residents, rooftop pool with spectacular skyline views, fitness center, community room, indoor/outdoor lounging area, guest suite that can be reserved, on-site management where you can talk with someone and events + activities, if interested. You can take your trash & recycling to clean, convenient rooms on each floor 24/7. And you are in the heart of Center City! Everything you need is within blocks - restaurants, food shopping, boutiques, theater, transit. Very easy to 30th St Station and the airport. #2213 is of course on a high floor, South facing, beautiful view. A delightful happy space you can move right into. Stunning cook's kitchen with bronze tiles and contemporary cabinets. Plenty of room for an eat-in table, couch, bed and desk. Artistic overhead lighting fixtures brighten this already light-filled space. Dressing area with closet + full bath with tub/shower.
