The Western Union Building is your place if you want a high rise luxury building in Center City Philadelphia. This boutique building features 24 hour Concierge / Security with private gym, and is centrally located in the sought after neighborhood of Washington Square West in downtown Philadelphia. Nestled on the 3rd floor, this lovely 1 bed 1 bath condo is south facing giving a generous amount of natural light. Upon entering, you will note the entrance foyer, which acts as a buffer between the main living area and the bedroom and bath. You will fall for its VERY HIGH SOARING CEILINGS and large windows (which make the unit feel more spacious than some of the other older condos with low ceilings in that area). This home features an open floor plan, modern kitchen and solid hardwood flooring! The bedroom is positioned for a good night's quiet sleep, and a large closet space. There is a coat closet and an "in- unit" Washer/Dryer. A perfect first time home buyer purchase or for someone looking for the convenience, security and peace of mind of a full service Center City building where PARKING is one site. The CONDO FEE includes water, sewer, gas cooking, a fitness center, and a courtyard with a private secure dog run. The historic Western Union Building was originally built 100 years ago as the headquarters of Western Union Telegraph Company, and was beautifully and tastefully expanded and redesigned into a luxury 12- story boutique residence by Philadelphia's renowned architect Cecile Baker in 2008. One of the great things about Wash West is its central location: less than 7 blocks in any direction to most of the great neighborhoods , historic squares and parks of Philadelphia: walkable to beautiful Washington Square and Rittenhouse Square, to the vibrant arts district on Broad St, to Restaurant Row; an easy walk to the center city business district and neighborhoods like Old City, Bella Vista, Queen Village and the Italian Market, all offering award winning dining, shopping and nightlife - and very close to public transportation and Jefferson Hospital!
