Built in 1927 and thoughtfully carried into the present, this one-bedroom residence at 4247 Locust Street brings together the architectural character of a storied University City building and the practical comforts of everyday modern living. At 626 square feet, the layout makes intelligent use of every inch, with an open floor plan that allows the living area to breathe and the kitchen to feel like a natural extension of the space rather than an afterthought tucked behind a wall.
The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, disposal, microwave, and refrigerator, giving you everything needed to move from a quick weeknight dinner to a slow weekend morning without missing a beat. There is a rhythm to cooking in a kitchen like this, where the counter space and appliances are arranged with intention, and the open layout means you are never fully separated from the rest of the home while you cook.
The bedroom is positioned at entry level and features a walk-in closet that delivers the kind of storage that actually changes how you live. No more rotating seasonal wardrobes in and out of awkward spaces. Everything has a place, and the room itself has enough presence to feel like a genuine retreat at the end of a long day.
Beyond the unit itself, the building offers a range of amenities that extend your living space well past your front door. A fitness center means your morning workout does not require a separate commute. A game room and meeting room give you spaces for both leisure and focus, depending on what the day demands. Elevators provide easy access throughout the building, and on-site laundry keeps the everyday logistics manageable. The property is gated, and a parking lot is available for residents who need it.
For those who share their home with a pet, the building welcomes both cats and dogs, with a dog park on the property where your four-legged companion can stretch out and socialize. A deposit is required and breed restrictions apply, so prospective residents with pets should confirm the specifics directly.
University City is one of Philadelphia's most genuinely walkable neighborhoods, a place where a single block can take you from a decades-old diner to a specialty coffee shop to a bookstore that smells exactly as it should. Locust Street sits comfortably within this ecosystem, close to the dining corridors and retail stretches that give the neighborhood its particular energy. The mix of students, researchers, medical professionals, and longtime residents creates a street life that feels active at almost any hour, and the proximity to the broader West Philadelphia grid means the rest of the city is never far.
Living here means mornings that begin without a rush, coffee close at hand, a walk to wherever the day is taking you, and an evening return to a home that fits the life being built around it. Pricing and availability subject to change on a daily basis. Photos are of model units. Parking may be available subject to availability and may be an additional fee.
