Blackwell Court! Welcome to 408B, a lovely two bedroom just off of Headhouse Square in Philly’s historical Society Hill. Upon entering the condominium through wrought iron gates, you will find yourself in a well manicured garden courtyard with lush magnolia and birch trees that a new homeowner will love watching bloom from the unit’s balcony. Low condo fees. The bi-level’s interior is flooded with natural light. High ceiling in the living and dining room features a vaulted skylight, eastern and western window exposures and upgraded lighting throughout. An open concept primary level features hardwood flooring, a wood burning fireplace and chef’s kitchen with updated stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage space behind timeless shaker cabinets. The first floor bedroom comfortably fits a full sized bed although it is currently used as a large office. A bespoke birch tree branch hand railing leads the way upstairs to the lofted primary bedroom suite which gets beautiful morning sunlight. The timeless bathroom houses full sized washer and dryer machines, a bathtub plus plenty of shelving storage space. Downstairs the hall closet has been expanded to optimize storage space under the staircase, the basement of the building has additional dedicated storage room for a new owner to stow their most loved belongings. Major systems have been recently updated including heating (2024) and air conditioning (2022), roof (2020), ceiling insulation and exterior deck (2018). For those with cars, the courtyard features a secure shortcut to an unaffiliated nearby parking garage with spaces available for a fee. The neighborhood is nothing short of a walker’s paradise with everything one could need just a stone’s throw away, cobblestone streets are lined with picturesque eateries Bloomsday, Loretta’s, Zahav, Pizzeria Stella, the Twisted Tail. Acme and CVS are just two blocks away and on Sunday mornings the Food Trust operates one of the city’s absolute best farmer’s markets in Headhouse Square. Washington Square and Independence Place are less than a mile away, as is the brand new waterfront Park at Penn’s Landing development providing plenty of nearby outdoor space and transportation is made easy with stations for the Market-Frankford line and PATCO just as close. Walking distance to Pennsylvania Hospital, Will’s Eye, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Call to schedule a tour today!
