Philadelphie, PA 19106

Unit 303, also known as the Mercer Manor, is located in the most prestigious area of Philadelphia - Society Hill. Upon entering Unit 303, one is greeted by a spacious foyer, and generous closet. Unit 303 is all on one level, as opposed to many other units in the building that are bi-level, which lends to easier, more comfortable living. As you enter into the kitchen from the foyer, it is evident that no expense has been sparred in this gourmet Chef's kitchen. Custom cabinets in espresso extend to the ceiling, and beautiful 24 inch ceramic tile extends throughout the periphery of the kitchen. The refrigerator is a generous sized Subzero model, and there is also a gas Wolf cook top embedded into the Carrara Quartz counter tops. The backsplash is a thick, large slab of Carrara Quartz, book-ended with the Quartz counters, whereas the striations are "matched up" to give all the stone a seamless, ongoing feel. Over the Wolf cook top is a Wolf multi-speed wall hood, with built-in lighting to elegantly illuminate cooking areas. The kitchen also features a Wolf wall oven, with Wolf microwave above it. For the very best in cleaning, the Mercer Manor even has a 24'' Asko dishwasher! For ease of cooking, an insta-hot water faucet has been installed adjacent to the Moen faucet. All these top of the line appliances are brand new, and have never been used. For those interested in "smart" systems, the Wolf oven and Subzero refrigerator can be integrated with one's smart phone via Wi-Fi, for control of these appliances without even being present in the unit!The Mercer Manor bares a completely open concept, whereas one in the kitchen can interact with those in the dining and living spaces. There is even a pass-through between the kitchen and living space, adorned with pendant lighting, that is meant to house bar-stools, for more casual dining. The ceilings go as high as 14 feet, and feature plenty of recessed light built into it around the entire unit. Real hardwood extends through the bedrooms and living spaces, and Marble tile is in both bathrooms. The master bedroom is an over-sized en-suite, and the hallway to both bedrooms can be closed off from the living room, if privacy is needed when guests are over. What makes this unit truly unique, is that the living room, and both bedrooms have these deep bay windows looking out onto S 4th Street, with a gorgeous Western exposure that gets plenty of natural sunlight, because the 3rd floor clears the tree-tops. Climate controlled storage unit is INCLUDED, and there is an option to purchase the very last deeded, garage parking spot for an additional fee.This is a rare opportunity to own one of just twenty-three magnificently appointed residences! The Willings at Independence Park offers the peace and quiet of a beautiful enclave, nestled in the historic heart of the city. Broadway level theaters, world-renowned museums, five-star restaurants are all within walking distance from your front doorstep. Strong construction, ornate historic detail (from the late 1800s), accommodating concierge staff and 24 hour doormen is just the beginning of life here. The Willings can allow you to live the life you were always meant to. The staff at the Willings cater to each and every resident special needs and requests, and there is also an on site manager. For the history enthusiasts, The Willings is actually the home to the largest concentration of original 18th and early 19th century architecture of any area in the United States. The Willings was the original headquarters for the Reading Railroad in 1871 (yes, the Monopoly property), and is named after Thomas Willings, who at the time was one of the wealthiest men in the country. The Willings shares a beautiful courtyard with Old Saint Joseph's Church, built in 1839.
