Description

Surround yourself in jaw-dropping views in this high-floor one-bedroom, one-bathroom featuring a flexible layout, private outdoor space, and an enviable location at Society Hill’s famed Hopkinson House condominium, directly across from Washington Square. Inside this 843-square-foot abode, the gracious entry opens to a flex space ideal as a home office or dining area. Ahead, the expansive living room invites you to relax and unwind alongside postcard views that stretch west to the dramatic city skyline, north across the treetops of Washington Square and east to a glimpse of the Delaware River. Nearby, the roomy balcony welcomes al fresco dining and lounging surrounded by the sights of the city. Flanked by the entry and living area, the galley kitchen impresses with rows of wood cabinetry, green granite countertops, tile backsplashes, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, bottom-freezer refrigerator, dishwasher and built-in microwave. An open layout intended to maximize natural light and access to the balcony winds from the living room to a king-size bedroom featuring a wide reach-in closet and plenty of room for dressers and a sitting area. The adjacent full bathroom boasts a large tub/shower, two-stage commode and large vanity surrounded by floor-to-ceiling tile. Additional closet space completes this lovely home in the sky. Hopkinson House is an award-winning modernist high-rise condominium designed by German-born architect and sculptor Oskar Stonorov in 1963. Residents of the stunning architectural gem enjoy 24-hour doorman service, on-site management, an impressive lobby, laundry, a community room, a seasonal rooftop pool and deck with breathtaking panoramic views, a circular drive and porte-cochere entrance, plus on-site valet parking for an additional fee. Basic utilities, including cable and high-speed internet, are included in the monthly fees. Sorry, no dogs. From this exquisite Society Hill Historic District location, you have direct access to 6.4-acre Washington Square’s verdant outdoor space, monuments and fountains. Independence National Historical Park, the waterfront and Pennsylvania Hospital are minutes away, while fantastic Center City dining, nightlife and shopping venues line the nearby streets. With excellent walk, bike and transit scores, this historic neighborhood is as convenient as it is beautiful.
