Historic charm meets modern convenience with this luxurious 2nd floor condo at notable Chandler Place. This Rittenhouse mansion was designed and built in 1903, for the Episcopalian Bishop of the Pennsylvania Archdiocese by the well-renowned architect Theophilus Chandler. Equally famed architect, Otto Spur, converted the mansion in 1980 to a 10-unit, enhancing its luxury and ultimately creating the renowned condominium it is today, Chandler place, which is perfectly situated among a lush, landscaped courtyard and sprawling tree canopy in the heart of Center City. This distinctive 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath corner unit boasts rich and exquisitely maintained architectural detail, a private rear entrance, and deeded parking. Entering the main level, through a custom tiled entryway, the original woodwork, intricate molding, and gorgeous hardwood flooring all create an additional edge of sophistication throughout. The visually stunning and spacious open concept living and dining space features 11 foot ceilings, recessed lighting, and oversized southwest facing windows that flood the space with natural light.

For warmth on those winter evenings, cozy up to the functional wood-burning fireplace with its elegant marble accent mantle. The spacious built-in closets on this level have just been upgraded with custom framing molding around each.
