Introducing the Laird, upscale living with historic beginnings. The Laird is a boutique 16 unit apartment building in a historical property that has been carefully and completely renovated inside and out. These renovations include all the modern conveniences expected in a contemporary apartment home while maintaining original details and character that can't be found in new construction towers. No two units are the same. Each unit has been thoughtfully designed. A one-bedroom one bathroom apartment. The main focal point of this beautiful, light-filled unit is the original living room fireplace from the 1800' that has been cleaned and restored. Additionally, this unit has been updated with wide-plank flooring and contemporary brushed gold and matte black fixtures. The modern kitchen includes a quartz marble veined countertop, all-wood cabinets, undercabinet lighting, elegant herringbone tiled backsplash, and reclaimed wood shelves, also original to the building. The bedroom offers a large closet, ceiling fan and an ensuite bathroom with washer and dryer. The bathroom was hotel inspired with an elegant vanity, bronze fixtures, and a spacious shower with contemporary frameless glass doors. Recessed lights throughout. Situated in the center of Philadelphia's vibrant Bella Vista neighborhood, The Laird is walking distance to area hospitals, universities, and the central business district. Just steps from Whole Foods, two city parks, multiple coffee shops and several popular bar/restaurants like Grace & Proper, The Good King and more! The Laird's location offers convenient access to the best of the city with the intimacy of a low-rise residential neighborhood. The Laird offers our residents the technology and security they deserve. The Butterfly tenant concierge & security system provides keyless access to admit guests and allows for deliveries to be received from a smart phone anywhere in the world. True to its vision of preserving the past, The Laird 's foyer enjoys 12-foot-high ceilings with the original tin covering from 1887; refurbished for today. In addition, elegant flooring, lighting and restored historic details throughout the common areas. Residents of The Laird have access to an exercise room equipped with a Peloton and other exercise equipment; and a common roof deck with spectacular, unobstructed views of the city, Delaware River bridges and the stadiums, perfect for entertaining and viewing firework displays! Finally, the Laird is within the William Meredith catchment which is rated by US News & World Report as the #1 elementary school in Philadelphia. We look forward to giving you a personalized tour of this special building!
