Sometimes people say that living in a high-rise condominium means giving up the character and individuality you might find in a townhouse. We beg to differ. This third-floor residence at Independence Place, looking directly into Washington Square Park, is proof that a condominium home can have plenty of personality of its own. Not only does it offer a wonderful, leafy view into one of Philadelphias most beautiful parks, but the home itself is filled with distinctive details that we only hope the photographs do justice. Years ago, when someone had the foresight to thoughtfully renovate this home, they added features such as beautiful wooden window sills, exposed concrete columns, pocket doors, leaded glass windows along the western side, and a cleverly designed opening between the living room and den/second bedroom that can be closed when privacy is desired. The eat-in kitchen has a large park-facing window, while the primary suite includes a completely customized closet, a stunning bathroom, and its own view of Washington Square. The second bedroom, with its western exposure, has a full bathroom with a stall shower, and there is, of course, a washer/dryer. From the moment you enter the living space, your eye is drawn to the view, while the generously proportioned interior flows effortlessly from the dining area to the elegant living room and then through sliding doors to a private terrace that may quickly become your favorite spot in the home. When the present sellers first saw this residence, they fell in love with it and we hope you will, too. Independence Place is a 24/7 door person building with a gorgeous new lobby, an outdoor seating area, bike storage, a refrigerated room for food deliveries, a new fitness room, and an off-street plaza for convenient short-term parking and drop-offs and pick-ups. Underground parking is also available for an additional fee. Walk out to a variety of shops and restaurants very convenient to the building, as well as a supermarket one block away. Electric is currently budgeted at $366 and this will vary with the occupants' actual usage. Cable fee is presently $90 per month.
