Completely new, academic renovation of a one bedroom, one bath condo (591 sq. ft.) in an Art Deco doorman building, at 2601 Pennsylvania Avenue, Phila., PA 19130, designed by Aaron Colish of Paul Philippe Cret's firm, and directly beside Kelly Drive, Boathouse Row and the PMA. Custom wood paneling and freshly painted throughout, including Bosch dishwasher, Florentine glass windows, a clandestine bedroom door from a local convent, a new w/d, and two programmable HVAC wall units with remote control. CAT-4 outlets installed in the bedroom and living room. Period lighting fixtures, and complete galley kitchen (with original pantry cabinets from Clothier Mansion in Wynnewood). Two (2) big closets, one in the bedroom and another in the vestibule. The unit is on the coveted north side of the building (it is stone quiet during events on the Parkway, as well as day to day), and overlooks Fairmount and the twinkling lights of the radio towers beyond Chestnut Hill. Mere steps from Klein's Market, Whole Paycheck, restaurants and Boathouse Row with complementary shuttle service to Center City, and multiple bus routes immediately outside. Convenience store, dry cleaning/laundry, fitness center, and Thai restaurant on site. Available now, it is a walker's paradise, with immediate access to the best artistic institutions in Philadelphia, the most scenic exercise about Kelly Drive and Lemon Hill, and a graceful haven in Fairmount, the most comfortable of neighborhoods in Center City.
