There are renovated residences, and then there are homes where every material, finish and detail has been considered. This exceptional corner one bedroom at Society Hill Towers pairs extraordinary craftsmanship with sweeping northwest views from the 28th floor. Nine floor to ceiling windows frame the Philadelphia skyline and historic cityscape, from golden hour through blue hour as the city begins to illuminate below. Inside, the residence was rebuilt to an exacting standard. Wide plank white oak flooring, custom millwork, solid wood doors and Lutron wireless double shades set the tone. The striking kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, honed Carrara marble countertops and backsplash with waterfall edges, a Wolf gas range and microwave, integrated Sub Zero refrigerator and Miele dishwasher. The beautifully finished bathroom features a floating custom wood vanity, Toto sink and toilet, Grohe fixtures and a 70 inch Robern medicine cabinet. Custom closets and an in unit Miele washer and dryer complete the home. Designed by internationally celebrated architect I.M. Pei, Society Hill Towers sits on five beautifully landscaped acres in the heart of historic Society Hill, an extraordinarily rare setting in Center City. Residents enjoy 24 hour front desk staff and security, a seasonal saltwater swimming pool, sun deck, picnic and grilling areas, fitness center, community spaces, storage and a fully secure underground parking garage, with select amenities and parking subject to applicable fees and availability. Here, your condominium fee works especially hard, covering electricity, gas, heat, air conditioning, water, sewer, basic cable, high speed internet, building and common area maintenance, trash and snow removal. Sue’s Produce and James Beard Award winning Zahav are right on site, along with conveniences including on site voting during elections. Washington Square, Old City, Headhouse Square and its beloved farmers market, the Delaware River waterfront and some of Philadelphia’s best dining, shopping and culture are just outside your door, with Rittenhouse Square minutes away. Philadelphia International Airport is approximately 20 minutes away, the Jersey Shore about an hour, with easy access to New York and Washington, DC. Exceptional design, five acres of green, remarkable convenience and a 28th floor front row seat to Philadelphia from golden hour to blue hour. This is Society Hill Towers at its very best.
