Property Description

Combining the proportions and privacy of a townhouse with the ease of single-level condominium living, this Queen Village residence occupies the top floor of a modern, LEED-platinum certified building, located within the sought-after William M. Meredith School catchment,. An elevator opens directly into the home, where the floor plan wraps around a shared central courtyard, bringing natural light into the living areas and bedrooms. Hardwood floors and an abundance of windows lend warmth and openness to the interiors, while two-zone heating and air conditioning provide individualized climate control. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is designed for both everyday use and entertaining, with warm wood cabinetry, generous counter space, and a broad peninsula that offers casual seating and a natural connection to the dining area. The adjoining living room is equally well proportioned, with plenty of room for both relaxed evenings and larger gatherings. A separate home office offers a dedicated workspace or library, removed from the main gathering areas. A powder room and laundry room are conveniently located nearby. A hallway lined with tall windows overlooking the courtyard leads to the bedroom wing. Two secondary bedrooms, each with hardwood floors and ample closets, share a full bathroom with a tub and shower. The primary suite is set apart from the other bedrooms and includes a sizable walk-in closet with custom organizational systems. Its en-suite bathroom features a double vanity with granite countertops and a large shower. The residence also enjoys exclusive use of a private roof deck, with views across the rooftops of Queen Village toward the Philadelphia skyline. There's plentiful space for outdoor dining and lounging, creating an additional living area above the neighborhood. A deeded, covered parking space within the gated area at the rear of the property and an unusually large exclusive-use basement storage room address two of the most common challenges of city living. Outside, Queen Village offers its own compelling collection of neighborhood conveniences. The independent shops and restaurants of South 4th Street, the Sunday Headhouse Farmers Market, and the historic streets of neighboring Society Hill and Bella Vista are all nearby. Center City and the Delaware River waterfront are within easy reach, while convenient access to I-95, I-76, and the Ben Franklin and Walt Whitman Bridges makes a breeze of commuting throughout the Philadelphia region and into New Jersey.
