Welcome to The Essex in Philadelphia's historic Old City neighborhood! This boutique condominium is highly sought-after and rarely available due to its modern, high-end style and prime location situated within walking distance of public transportation, notable museums, celebrated restaurants and City parks, such as Franklin Square. It is also within walking distance of popular tourist destinations such as Penn's Landing and the Constitution Center and is adjacent to the liveliness of the Chinatown and Northern Liberties neighborhoods. The luxurious and secured lobby of the Essex welcomes you and provides residents with access to the street, parking garage and elevator. The Essex's well-appointed elegance continues down the main marble-floored hallway and up through the front door of this second-floor unit, accented by high-end finishes such as gorgeous Brazilian hardwood floors, Viking kitchen appliances and custom cabinetry. The kitchen is a chef's dream with stainless steel Viking appliances, gas oven, soft-close cabinets and granite countertops. The condo's open concept lends to the feel of this bright and spacious living space. The dining room is open to the living room where a large picture window provides views of the lush greenery and accompanies a glass door that opens to your private balcony. No space was wasted with the expansive ensuite bedroom where another large picture window draws in an abundance of north-facing daylight and a customized closet was installed to maximize space and organization. The adjoining full bathroom features a custom-built linen closet, a dual vanity with lots of storage space, a tile stall shower with a seamless glass door and a separate tub shower. Completing the unit, you'll find a pantry, a powder room with a custom-built cabinet, and a laundry room with a stacked full-sized washer and dryer for convenience. To ensure optimum ease and convenience of city living, an additional storage unit and a deeded parking space in the secured parking garage are included in the ownership of each unit. This unit will not last long so stop in for your private tour and see why everyone loves living here!
