Set in an elegant boutique building on one of the quieter sides of Rittenhouse Square, this gracious and wonderfully flexible home offers the kind of space that works equally well for everyday living or entertaining. The expansive great room incorporates the former third bedroom and now flows effortlessly from an oversized living room to an open den or seating area, a corner dining area, and a galley kitchen with contemporary cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a window with a western exposure. A built-in settee adds another inviting spot for sitting, while the open design allows the room to be configured in numerous ways depending on how you want to live and entertain. The generously sized guest bedroom has room for its own seating area in front of the windows and is served by a striking black-and-white full bath with a Deco-inspired feel. The spacious primary suite is especially appealing, with a conveniently located laundry room, a separate dressing area, and a sleek bath featuring white stone tile, a wall-hung sink, and an oversized shower with a frameless glass door. The bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed and also offers wonderful window seating with room for additional chairs or a cozy sitting area. Wood floors run throughout this sophisticated home, which is located in a 24/7 door person building with a fitness room and additional storage. And then there is the location: step outside your front door and you are right in the heart of fashionable Rittenhouse Square, surrounded by some of Center City’s finest restaurants, shops, cafes, and everything else that makes this neighborhood so extraordinarily convenient. It is difficult to imagine a more effortless way to enjoy Rittenhouse Square living.
