The photos tell the story of the beauty of this exquisite residence. Treat yourself to the unparalleled elegance at 1830 Rittenhouse Square, the oldest and most distinguished building on the square. An iron canopy, grand lobby, and liftman-operated elevator are just a few of the special details that set this landmark apart. This exquisite one-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom corner unit blends historic charm with modern sophistication. The home showcases meticulous design featuring classic lines and a soothing palette. Cherry hardwood floors, ten-foot ceilings, and architectural woodwork create an ambiance of timeless grandeur.

The formal dining room offers custom finishes and built-ins far exceeding anything else in the general price range- from hidden cabinets to full-height, solid doors. This home is a story of room size as opposed to room count. New HVAC, many windows, and upgraded bathrooms complete the look, along with fantastic storage/closets in the master bedroom area.
