This spectacular residence is a rare offering—a three bedroom, two and a half bathroom showplace at the highly coveted Barclay Condominium that has been meticulously renovated while staying true to its many original architectural details. High ceilings, oversized windows with sunset views atop Rittenhouse Square, rich wood flooring, excellent entertaining space, custom built-ins, and a brand new chef's kitchen are only a handful of the luxurious highlights.
Enter through a foyer with coat closet into a central gallery boasting a domed ceiling detail with custom chandelier, ideal to be used as a formal dining room, entrance hall or other entertaining space. Past the gallery is the grand living room with two walls of tall windows offering views of The Square, a fireplace with marble surround, and a wall of built-ins framing a set of French doors that lead to the family room. The family room has ample space for a large sofa and chairs, as well as more oversized windows that stream in natural light and a built in desk nook. A powder room with hand painted mural and large window looking eastwards over the Saint Mark's church is also accessible from this space.
The fully renovated eat-in kitchen is truly a chef's dream. The center piece of the room is an oversized island with marble top, thoughtfully designed storage space, and large breakfast bar with seating for six. Other features include Berman and Bowen white shaker wood cabinetry including multiple display cabinets encased in glass with accent lighting, marble and butcher block counters, large Allia sink with garbage disposal and spray faucet, Shaws ceramic bar sink, built-in coffee bar with marble top behind cabinet doors, checkerboard Italian tile floor, and high-end appliances including a Sub Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher plus an additional Fisher and Paykel dishwasher drawer, Wolf commercial grade oven with six burner gas range and hood, designer tile backsplash behind the range, XO wine refrigerator, and built-in beverage drawers.
The luxurious primary suite enjoys more windows with Rittenhouse Square views, a large built-in entertainment center with closet/storage space, deep wall closet, and bathroom with marble tilework, modern white vanity and tub-shower with a tile accent wall. There are two additional bedrooms both with views of The Square and custom built-ins that enjoy a shared updated Jack-n-Jill bathroom. There is a private laundry room with a sink, storage space, and stacked GE Power Steam washer/dryer. The home is further enhanced with high-end hardware, recessed lighting and custom light fixtures, herringbone and parquet wood floor patterns, and crown and baseboard molding throughout.
