Description

Unit #402 in Philadelphia's historic Bank Building offers a bespoke living experience custom designed by famed architect Jay Tackett, overflowing with distinctive character and top-of-the-line finishes. This single-level condo spans over 2,100 sqft featuring dual primary bedroom suites with 2.5 bathrooms, plus an office and additional secure storage. A unique benefit for residents of this boutique condo building is access to the adjoining Renaissance Hotel's amenities, including room service, maid service, pool, fitness center, and, for a fee, parking in the Bourse Garage with available valet. Constructed in 1859 along what was once Banker's Row, The Bank Building's opulent exterior is known for its cast-iron front doors and window grill work. Inside the unit, you're welcomed by a foyer with a coat closet. To the right is the first suite, comprised of a large bedroom brightened by oversized windows, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom adorned with floor-to-ceiling Italian porcelain tiles, a jetted soaking tub, and a multi-jet rainfall shower. Brazilian engineered hardwood floors lead down a hall, past the laundry room and powder room, to the expansive main living space, where towering 10ft ceilings frame an open layout that can easily be configured to fit your lifestyle. Three sets of bay windows and two chandeliers help define the dining, sitting, and breakfast areas, while a built-in entertainment center anchors the living room, which was fully upgraded in 2021. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the bespoke Poggenpohl gourmet kitchen. Designed for high functionality and stunning form, this kitchen is fitted with rare quartz on the counters & backsplash and high-end stainless steel appliances, including a Capital 8-burner, double oven range with rotisserie and grilling capabilities, an LG refrigerator, and a Fisher & Paykel twin-drawer dishwasher. There's also plenty of storage with ceiling-height cabinetry and plenty of counter space with a peninsula and seating. Completing the home is an office with solid wood built-ins and a second bedroom suite with exposed brick vaulted ceilings, a sun-lit reading nook, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious full bathroom. Additional highlights include a whole-house Aquasana water filtration system, a newer Bradford White 80-gallon water heater, over 80 dimmable LED downlights, and Sony TV & Hi-Fi systems in the bedrooms and living room. Not only is this a phenomenal residence, its Society Hill neighborhood can't be beaten! With a Walk Score of 99, this central location is just a few blocks from shopping, dining, entertainment in Old City, events and festivities at Penn's Landing, and America's birthplace at Independence Mall. All three sporting stadiums are 10min away, plus it's close to the picturesque Washington Sq Park, Pennsylvania & Jefferson Hospitals, and Center City. There's also easy access to I-95 and I-676 for a short 15min drive to Cherry Hill+GGs elite stores and mall and the PHL airport for additional convenience. For added convenience, the Bourse Garage is available for a monthly fee for those seeking self-parking or valet parking.
