Description

Residence 701 is the only three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath, fully turnkey residence currently available at 500 Walnut, the celebrated condominium conversion designed by Cecil Baker. Set along Washington Square, this home balances modern precision with Philadelphia’s architectural legacy—within one of the city’s most exclusive residential addresses.

A gracious entry gallery introduces soaring 10-foot ceilings and an expansive living and dining room framed by floor-to-ceiling glass. South-facing exposures bring in consistent natural light, while a custom feature wall anchors the space with a gas fireplace, integrated television hook up, and gallery-style art lighting.

The Joanne Hudson–designed kitchen is refined and functional, finished with polished white Carrara marble, under-cabinet lighting, and top-tier appliances. A dedicated beverage station with wine storage flows into a thoughtfully designed pantry with glass pocket doors—elegant, discreet, and practical.

The primary suite is a private retreat, opening to a south-facing balcony and offering a generous walk-in closet. Built-in displays incorporate a wine refrigerator and coffee station, elevating everyday routines. The spa-level bath features a double marble vanity, oversized shower with waterfall fixture, and radiant heated floors.

A second bedroom includes an en-suite bath and substantial closet space. The third bedroom—currently configured as a den or home office—enjoys views of Independence National Historical Park, adding a rare sense of openness and context.

Additional details include a full laundry room, Lutron motorized shades throughout, LED lighting, porcelain flooring with custom carpeting in the bedrooms. One automated, state-of-the-art parking space is included.

Residents of 500 Walnut enjoy a full suite of amenities: 24-hour doorman, indoor pool, comprehensive fitness center with sauna, steam, and massage rooms, a 4,000-square-foot residents’ lounge with outdoor fireplace, golf simulator, billiards room, private boardroom, pet spa, guest hotel suite, and the added convenience of a private driver service.

A rare opportunity to own a fully realized residence in the heart of Washington Square—where architecture, service, and privacy converge.
