Welcome to this lovely, light-filled condo with an attached one-car garage in the sought-after Arches community, where city living meets a peaceful retreat. Tucked away behind a gated entrance and removed from the main roads, this special home offers a quiet, private setting in the heart of the city — complete with a private balcony providing stunning skyline views. Hand-scraped solid hickory hardwood floors add warmth, character, and timeless appeal throughout the home. The open-concept main level is designed for comfortable living and easy entertaining, featuring a spacious living room, a beautifully updated kitchen, and a versatile den with a wood-burning fireplace. The custom-designed kitchen is truly the heart of the home, thoughtfully created for both everyday living and entertaining, with plentiful storage throughout. Sliders off the kitchen lead directly to the private balcony, creating an inviting indoor-outdoor connection and the perfect spot to enjoy the city skyline. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a large walk-through closet leading to the ensuite bathroom, complete with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower and built-in cabinetry providing plenty of storage. The two generously sized secondary bedrooms share a full hall bathroom, while a conveniently located laundry area completes this level. The finished basement provides additional living space to suit your needs — whether used as a home office, recreation room, gym, or additional storage. This level also provides direct access to the one-car attached garage. Every room has been thoughtfully updated, with abundant storage throughout every level. Ideally located in the Greenfield catchment, this home is just blocks from Philadelphia’s world-class museums, a nearby dog park, Giant, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, 30th Street Station, multiple subway and bus lines, and the energy and convenience of Center City. A rare combination of privacy, style, thoughtful updates, flexible living space, and an unbeatable city location! Mortgage savings may be available for buyers of this listing.
