1240 S St

Completed in 2014, this intimate condominium building occupies a corner lot in Philadelphia’s Washington Square West and contains roughly 10–11 modern flats organized around a secure lobby and elevator. The low-rise structure presents contemporary masonry and glass, exterior lighting, sidewalks and street lights that integrate with the pedestrian streetscape. Units are all two-bedroom, two-bath homes featuring open-plan living with hardwood floors, recessed lighting, sound systems and chef-style kitchens with oversized islands, Silestone/quartz counters, custom cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. Primary baths are fully tiled with frameless glass showers, double vanities in many units and upgraded fixtures; secondary baths often include soaking tubs. Every residence has private outdoor space (balcony or, for a penthouse, a private roof deck) plus in-unit laundry and plentiful closet storage; some homes include additional locked storage in the basement. Building systems include video intercom/keyless entry, security cameras, package receiving and an elevator. Select units are sold with deeded or pre-paid garage parking and there is a gated driveway with parking spaces available. Energy Star-rated construction, tax-abatement incentives on some units, and the ability to customize finishes were part of the original offering. The location places residents steps from restaurants, Whole Foods, public transit (Broad Street Line), theaters and neighborhood parks, combining walkable urban amenities with easy Center City access.
