1519 Pine St Unit 4, Philadelphia, PA 19102

Property Description

Set along one of Philadelphia’s most iconic residential streets, Unit 4 at La Roque pairs a genuinely interesting piece of Philadelphia history with comfortable, modern city living. Dating to around 1900, 1519 Pine Street was originally built as a single-family residence and was individually placed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 1971. It is also part of the Rittenhouse-Fitler Historic District. The property was extensively redeveloped in 2007–08 as La Roque, an intimate boutique condominium of just nine residences, modernizing the building while preserving the character and architecture of its Pine Street origins. Even the name has a story—it was inspired by La Roque-Gageac, the historic village in southwestern France. Inside, this charming loft-style studio features hardwood floors, oversized windows with plantation shutters, central air, in-unit laundry and new custom closets offering exceptional storage. The lofted sleeping area creates separation from the main living space while making excellent use of the home’s footprint, and the kitchen provides ample cabinetry with an open connection to the living area. Just steps from Rittenhouse Square, restaurants, cafés, boutiques and parks, the location offers the convenience of Center City with the quieter feel and architectural character of a tree-lined Pine Street block. Easy access to universities, hospitals, public transportation and downtown employers makes this an appealing primary residence, pied-à-terre or low-maintenance Philadelphia home base. Historic character, modern conveniences, just nine residences and one of the city’s most desirable locations—1519 Pine is anything but ordinary.
