Welcome to the Belgravia condominiums, where old world charm seamlessly blends with
sophisticated city living. You’ll feel the grandeur of the building immediately as you step into
the stunning Beaux Arts marble lobby, complete with stained glass windows, and are
greeted by the welcoming round-the-clock front desk staff. From the lobby, take the elegant
brass elevators and enter residence 705, a gorgeously maintained and thoughtfully updated
2 bed, 2.5 bath home.
You’ll instantly feel at home as you step in and notice the welcoming grass cloth wallpaper
in the foyer, gleaming oakwood floors, and open living area. The heart of the home, the
living-dining area lined with tall windows and patio access is warm and bright, walls covered
in Cowtan and Tout linen fabric. Solar shades allow you to adjust and filter the light that
streams in from the expansive eastern views. Perfect for entertaining, the living and dining
rooms featuring a Katherine Chandelier and updated recessed lighting connect the natural
stone breakfast bar to the open kitchen, with shaker cabinets, sleek granite countertops, and
stainless- steel appliances, including a recently installed Samsung Refrigerator. All rooms
include updated recessed lighting with dimmers and the spacious closets have dedicated
light switches. Off the main living area is the half bath perfect for guests, boasting stylish
Phillip Jeffries Chevron Chic wallpaper. Once it's time to unwind, this home offers two
spacious bedroom suites, each with its own private marble bathroom. Bathrooms include
updated Roburn mirrored cabinets and light fixtures. Bedrooms have luxurious Stanton wool
carpeting and designer window treatments. The first bedroom, just off the kitchen area and
half bath includes ample closet space, a spacious niche for the home office and a full bath
with access to the washer-dryer. On the other side of the home, you’ll find the main
bedroom with a second access to the patio and a gorgeous full bath with marble shower.
Step outside to your cozy garden patio and take in the gorgeous center city views.
Not visible, but adding to the healthy environment of this home, is a UV light filtration system
for the HVAC and a water purification system for the sinks. The Belgravia is one of Philadelphia’s most elegant buildings and a registered historical landmark with a storied architectural and cultural history.
