Description
*Entertainer’s Dream in a Historic Gem: One Bedroom + Den in Washington Square West * For the buyer who loves to entertain and cherishes historic character, this extraordinary one-bedroom plus den condominium in the heart of Washington Square West delivers timeless elegance with dramatic architectural flair. Set within a stately early 20th-century building, this home is anything but ordinary—its façade still bears the distinguished script of George T. Sale, the prominent real estate figure of a bygone era. Inside, soaring 12-foot ceilings, original Victorian moldings, and rich hardwood floors immediately set a tone of refined grandeur. The light-filled living room, anchored by an original demi-lune window with custom blinds, offers an impressive yet welcoming space perfect for gatherings large or small. The former real estate display window has been transformed into a unique marble-framed nook—ideal for showcasing plants or sculpture—adding architectural drama to your entertaining space. Flowing seamlessly from the living room is a generous dining area and open kitchen, designed for hosting with ease. Whether it’s an elegant dinner party or a spontaneous wine-and-cheese night, guests will admire the original marble mantel and the spacious layout, which allows for effortless mingling while you prep or serve. Just off the dining area, a full bath brims with vintage appeal, featuring a 1920s pedestal sink, stained glass window, and built-in linen closet. Down the hall, the primary bedroom is a quiet sanctuary measuring over 18 feet long, complete with a huge double sided walk-in closet and in-unit washer and dryer. A versatile den off the bedroom offers the perfect spot for a home office, yoga studio, or cozy library nook. One of the home’s rarest features is the shared backyard—a peaceful green retreat that’s virtually yours alone. An additional private entry via Irving Street alley makes entertaining even more convenient, whether you're bringing in groceries or welcoming guests. Located in one of Philadelphia’s most walkable and desirable neighborhoods, you're steps from award-winning restaurants like Vedge, world-class performances at the Kimmel Center, and the historic beauty of Washington and Rittenhouse Squares. This home isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to host, to unwind, and to fall in love with the past while living fully in the present. A true one-of-a-kind offering—where old-world charm meets vibrant city living.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
