About this home
A rare opportunity to own a piece of Philadelphia architectural history in the heart of Washington Square West. Welcome to Unit E at Furness Flats, an intimate landmark residence designed by renowned Philadelphia architect Frank Furness in 1880. Originally conceived as a single family home and later thoughtfully converted into condominiums, the building retains the character and architectural presence that make Furness-designed properties so distinctive.
Inside, this sun-filled two-bedroom residence pairs historic charm with a beautifully updated, contemporary interior. High ceilings and oak hardwood floors enhance the expansive open living and entertaining space, where windows on both sides create an exceptional quality of natural light, including abundant southern exposure.
At the heart of the home is a stunning kitchen renovated in 2023, featuring Bosch appliances, a Faber range hood, streamlined cabinetry, and a clean, modern aesthetic that complements rather than competes with the home’s historic character. The open layout allows the kitchen, dining, and living areas to flow effortlessly together, creating a wonderful setting for both everyday living and entertaining.
Two generously sized bedrooms offer comfortable private retreats and share a full bathroom. One bedroom opens directly onto a private covered outdoor space : a coveted feature in the heart of Center City. An original built-in bookcase lining the hallway adds another layer of character and provides the perfect backdrop for books, art, and collected objects. Ample fitted closets, central air conditioning, and thoughtful storage complete the residence.
Beyond the apartment, the location is quintessential Philadelphia. Set just off 13th Street in the heart of Washington Square West, Furness Flats places you within moments of some of the city’s most celebrated dining destinations, including Vetri Cucina, Sampan, Double Knot, Pearl & Mary, and El Vez. Rittenhouse Square, Washington Square, the Avenue of the Arts, the Kimmel Center, and Walnut and Chestnut Street shopping are all within easy reach. For those working at Jefferson, Wills Eye, or Pennsylvania Hospital, some of the city’s leading medical institutions are just minutes from home.
Pet-friendly, architecturally significant, and remarkably well positioned, Unit E offers something increasingly difficult to replicate: the warmth and individuality of a historic Philadelphia home paired with the ease of modern condominium living.
A home with history, character, and a story of its own ready for someone special to create an incredible next chapter of their own....
