Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Whether you're looking for a slick, studio-style apartment to return to after a long day's work in the city or searching for a quiet bolthole in the heart of the Old City district, this modern home is a great option. Location-wise you couldn't get much better, with the Colonial-era monuments and 18th-century buildings right on your doorstep. This area is as gorgeous as it is historic, with leafy green spaces (Franklin Square) and Delaware River trails a short walk away. Delve into the city's deep-rooted past and visit Liberty Bell (a fourteen-minute walk), Independence Hall (a fifteen-minute stroll) and take a wander down cobbled Elfreth's Alley (six minutes away), lined with elegant rowhouses that date back to the 1700s – it's said to be the oldest residential street in America. After a day spent sightseeing, browsing boutiques and sipping Bluecoat gin along South 2nd Street, return to your bright and contemporary home, with all of the usual mod-cons needed for a comfortable and cosy stay. Rest and recuperated, head downstairs to find a stylish, communal lounge where you can chat to your fellow residents and pick up all of those insider tips on what's hot in Philly.
