A rare opportunity to own a piece of Philadelphia architectural history in the heart of Washington Square West. Welcome to Unit E at Furness Flats, an intimate landmark residence designed by renowned Philadelphia architect Frank Furness in 1880. Originally conceived as a single family home and later thoughtfully converted into… Read More condominiums, the building retains the character and architectural presence that make Furness-designed properties so distinctive. At the heart of the home is a stunning kitchen renovated in 2023, featuring Bosch appliances, a Faber range hood, streamlined cabinetry, and a clean, modern aesthetic that complements rather than competes with the home's historic character. Currently owned by an architect, the residence reflects a thoughtful appreciation for design, proportion, and the architectural integrity of its Furness origins. The open layout allows the kitchen, dining, and living areas to flow effortlessly together, creating a wonderful setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Two generously sized bedrooms offer comfortable private retreats and share a full bathroom. One bedroom opens directly onto a private covered outdoor space : a coveted feature in the heart of the city. An original built-in bookcase lining the hallway adds another layer of character and provides the perfect backdrop for books, art, and collected objects. Ample fitted closets, central air conditioning, and thoughtful storage complete the residence. Furness Flats also offers residents a shared outdoor patio and laundry facilities, while the best of Midtown Village begins virtually at your doorstep. Some of Philadelphia's most celebrated dining destinations are just moments away, including Vetri Cucina, Sampan, Double Knot, Pearl & Mary, and El Vez. Rittenhouse Square, Washington Square, the Avenue of the Arts, the Kimmel Center, and Walnut and Chestnut Street shopping are all within easy reach. Jefferson, Wills Eye, and Pennsylvania Hospital are also just minutes from home. Pet-friendly, architecturally significant, and remarkably well positioned, Unit E offers something increasingly difficult to replicate: the warmth and individuality of a historic Philadelphia home paired with the ease of modern condominium living. A home with history, rich character - ready for someone special to create an incredible next chapter of their own. Read Less
