Originally constructed in 1900 and converted into roughly 32 condominium residences, this four-story carriage house blends preserved historic detail with renovated, loft-style layouts. The building’s centerpiece is a multi-story glass-enclosed atrium with a vaulted skylight and a Mediterranean-style Venetian fountain; interior hardscape and mature plantings create a slate-paved courtyard that doubles as a sheltered common area. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom bi-level lofts featuring exposed beams, high ceilings, oversized south-facing windows, wood floors, spiral staircases, crown moldings, and period hardware such as stable doors and antique light fixtures. Kitchens are commonly updated with granite or stone counters and stainless appliances; many residences include in-unit washer/dryer, recessed lighting, and ample closet space. Resident amenities and exterior features include a keyed entry/vestibule with intercom and key fob access, exterior lighting, sidewalks, street lighting, and limited deeded parking spaces in an adjacent gated lot. The association manages building systems and periodic upgrades — examples cited include new hot water heaters and upcoming doorbell/video access installations. Located in Fairmount/Spring Garden near the Parkway, Art Museum, Kelly Drive and the Schuylkill River Trail, the property sits within walking distance of grocery options, cafes, restaurants, transit connections, and cultural institutions, providing a mix of historic character and city conveniences. Pet-friendly policies apply and some parking spaces are separately deeded.
