A very rare opportunity to call one of Philadelphias iconic Rittenhouse Mansions home. As you enter the vestibule of the building you immediately are surrounded by the gilded age. A stunning original entry with mosaic flooring, a tremendous fireplace, incredible woodwork details, soaring coffered ceiling and an impressive sweeping staircase. This very large sun drenched SouthEastern facing apartment encompasses the entire first floor of this masterpiece of a building with oversized rooms. There are two entrances from the vestibule you can enter this apartment either into a center hall leading to the kitchen, rear bedroom and bath or a secondary entry into the living room. The large updated kitchen with room for a table or island to work on has brand new quartz countertops, lofty ceilings, new high end energy efficient stainless appliances being instaledl on November 13. The 15" coffered and wooden waffle ceilings throughout give even more soaring open space. The entire apartment has incredible, original and restored one of a kind details everywhere you look from the floors, walls, ceilings and more that you won't find anywhere else. Gorgeous inlaid hardwood floors flow throughout the apartment, enormous solid pocket doors separate the rooms providing privacy and buffering any noise. A secondary interior staircase leads you down to the private laundry room with new front load full size washer and dryer and also leads out to a very large sunken courtyard to enjoy. This is truly a trophy property unlike any other, in an incredible location and on great block of Spruce st right in the heart of Rittenhouse having everything one could want or need within walking distance. The photos do not do the space justice and it really must be seen in person to understand the enormity and one of a kind uniqueness of this apartment.
