210 W Washington Sq

The Ayer is a boutique, historically restored condominium occupying a landmark 1929 building on Philadelphia’s Washington Square. Twelve stories house roughly 49 residences configured primarily as two- and three-bedroom homes with generous ceiling heights (around 11–18 feet in some units) and large windows providing multi-exposure light and park or city views. Architecturally the building preserves its Art Deco façade, carved lobby details, and original bronze doors while interiors combine museum-quality historic elements with contemporary, high-end finishes. Residences emphasize open, entertaining-focused plans with wide-plank wood floors, custom millwork, and chef-caliber Bulthaup kitchens outfitted with Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, islands, pantries and breakfast areas. Primary suites typically include walk-in closets and marble-clad spa bathrooms with soaking tubs and glass showers; multiple units offer private terraces. Building-common areas reflect a hotel-style program: a marble lobby, 24-hour staffed front desk and doormen, valet garage parking, on-site secure storage, a fitness room with terrace access, a shared roof deck and landscaped common outdoor spaces. Additional onsite services have included concierge-driven perks such as a chauffeur vehicle and package handling. Practical systems include elevators, sprinkler protection and in-unit laundry for many homes. Exterior features around the property incorporate sidewalks, exterior lighting, stone retaining walls and street lighting consistent with the Society Hill streetscape. The location places residents steps from Washington Square, historic parks, hospitals, specialty grocers, restaurants and Center City transit and cultural destinations.
