This 906 s.f. one bedroom unit in the elegant 1920s Garden Court condominium complex has been beautifully upgraded. Floor plan changes opened up the space so that there’s plenty of room to entertain guests while cooking in the new kitchen. Six big west-facing windows in the living room/ dining area/ kitchen bring loads of 4th floor light to the public space, with three additional bright windows in the bedroom and bath. Original oak flooring, leaded glass and an upgraded-but-classic Garden Court bath with Vitrolite walls add charm, and the kitchen's natural quartzite countertops, matching window sills and radiator cover add polish. (Note, also, that the kitchen has GAS cooking, not electric, which is much more common in these condos.) Three walk-in closets, PLUS a pantry closet, PLUS a separate desk alcove space provide lots of room to spread out. There’s also a recent in-unit W&D. Outside, the gated, landscaped courtyard with a fountain, koi ponds and sitting areas is an amazing front yard, and condo amenities include a gorgeous indoor swimming pool for year-round use, an exercise room, a library and a community room. The location is in the very heart of University City, West Philly. Buyers, please note that 2021 property tax for an owner-occupant is just $1668 for the YEAR.
