About This Property
If you're looking for your own private oasis in a secure luxury
high rise building at a fantastic price in downtown Philadelphia,
you've got to check out Unit 5J @ the Western Union Building.
This boutique building features 24 hour Concierge / Security
with private gym, and is centrally located in the sought after
neighborhood of Washington Square West in downtown Philadelphia.
(It's really the best kept secret in Philly.) Nestled on the
5th floor, (enabling you to take the steps OR the elevator),
this lovely 1 bed 1 bath condo is situated in a very quiet spot
facing the courtyard, giving it an air of peace, privacy and
tranquility. Upon entering, you will note the entrance foyer, which
acts as a buffer between the main living area on the right and the
bedroom and bath on the left . You will fall for its VERY HIGH
SOURING CEILINGS and large windows (which make the unit feel
more spacious than some of the other older condos with low ceilings
in that area). This home features an open floor plan, modern
kitchen and solid hardwood flooring! The bedroom is plenty big for
a king, and boasts a LARGE WALK IN CLOSET. There is a coat closet
and an "in- unit" Washer/Dryer included in the sale. A perfect
first time home buyer purchase, downsize purchase, or pied-de-terre
for someone looking for the convenience, security and peace of mind
of a full service Center City building where parking is one site
for an extra monthly fee (when available). The VERY LOW CONDO FEE
includes water, sewer, gas cooking, a fitness center, and a
courtyard with a private secure dog run. COULD ALSO
MAKE A GOOD INVESTMENT PROPERTY. The historic Western Union
Building was originally built 100 years ago as the headquarters of
Western Union Telegraph Company, and was beautifully and tastefully
expanded and redesigned into a luxury 12- story boutique
residence by Philadelphia's renowned architect Cecile Baker in
2008. The residents love it so much, that, in general, there are
typically few on the market at any given time compared to other
high rise buildings where the staff and resident turn over is
higher. One of the great things about Wash West is its central
location: less than 7 blocks in any direction to most of the great
neighborhoods , historic squares and parks of Philadelphia:
walkable to beautiful Washington Square and Rittenhouse Square, to
the vibrant arts district on Broad St, to Restaurant Row; an easy
walk to the center city business district and neighborhoods like
Old City, Bella Vista, Queen Village and the Italian Market, all
offering award winning dining, shopping and nightlife - and very
close to public transportation and Jefferson Hospital!
