Description

Showings begin Friday, June 21. Pier 5 at Philadelphia's Penn's Landing is an exquisite waterfront residence offering a perfect blend of luxurious living, stunning views, and unsurpassed recreational and dining opportunities. Whether you are searching for a primary home, a pied-à-terre, or a retreat-like setting to gather with family and friends, you will find your wishes have come true at Pier 5. The residence is situated on the banks of the Delaware River, close to downtown and all of the arts, culture, recreation, and restaurants the city has to offer. But nature beckons as well. As a resident you can begin each day watching the sun rise over the Delaware River! From all three levels of your townhouse on the Pier you will enjoy a gorgeous view of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. You needn't search for parking because your own dedicated space is just an elevator ride or stairway away. You can enjoy morning coffee or an evening refreshment from your own sundeck or from the community veranda. This bright and sunny condominium unit features three bedrooms and four bathrooms—three full and one half-bath. The first level has an open floor plan convenient for family life or entertaining. The bright, open kitchen faces a generously sized dining area that is separated from the living room by a half wall, defining areas for cooking, enjoying meals, and relaxing or entertaining. The first floor offers light bamboo flooring, a wood-burning fireplace and full wall of windows with a view of the Ben Franklin Bridge, Cherry and Race Street Piers, and the marina. The newly carpeted second floor includes the primary bedroom suite with another full wall of windows with the same gorgeous view as the first floor. Here you’ll find ample closet space, a separate shower, and a cleverly situated Jacuzzi soaking tub with a sliding “pocket” window that can be closed for privacy or opened to take advantage of the view. Completing this level is a second bedroom, a second full bath, and a laundry area. The third floor has a generously sized room, a full bath, and a large walk-in closet. This room can be used as a third bedroom, studio, office, or another family space. Through the sliding doors on the third floor is a lovely private sun deck, a fantastic entertaining space for friends or for a romantic dinner. You’ll find the same stunning view of the river and the Ben Franklin Bridge from the deck. The deck is bright and open, with composite flooring. This property has been well-cared for by the same owners for more than 25 years. It is lovely and well-maintained, and a new owner’s updates would enhance its appeal even further! Pier 5 itself is a special place with an open-air center courtyard filled with beautiful very well-cared for plantings, creating the feeling of a botanical garden. The Pier is perfectly situated with a biking and hiking trail right outside the front door, very easy access to I-95 and the Delaware River bridges to New Jersey, and the countless vibrant recreational, restaurant, entertainment, and historical venues in Penn’s Landing and Old City, not to mention a front row seat to Philadelphia’s fireworks displays!
