1008 Spruce St

Strickland Row is a collection of converted mansion-style brownstones in Philadelphia’s Washington Square West, originally constructed in the early 20th century and adapted into condominium ownership. The complex comprises several contiguous low- to mid-rise masonry buildings served by an antique elevator and arranged around landscaped courtyards. Units are predominantly one- and two-bedroom layouts with traditional floor plans, high ceilings, original plaster moldings, crown millwork, hardwood floors, marble or wood-burning fireplaces, and built-in storage; many homes include eat-in or pass-through kitchens with modern updates such as quartz counters and stainless appliances. Common areas emphasize outdoor living: multiple planted courtyards, an in-ground heated pool (seasonal), grilling areas, and a roof deck with panoramic Center City views. Practical onsite features include shared laundry in the basement, elevator access, exterior lighting and sidewalks, and permit or limited street parking nearby. The association’s condo fees commonly cover a broad set of services — exterior and common-area maintenance, master insurance, heat, central air in some cases, water/sewer, trash, snow removal, and pool upkeep — while owners pay some utilities and plug-in electric separately. Pet policies are modestly restrictive (cats typically allowed; only service dogs in some listings). Located on tree-lined Spruce Street, the development sits inside one of Center City’s most walkable neighborhoods, steps from restaurants, grocery markets, cultural venues, hospitals, and transit.
