House of the week: A tri-level two-bedroom condo on Logan Square for $699,000
The unit spans the 9th and 10th floors and has unobstructed views of the Schuylkill River.
Steve Goldberg says it was the views from the apartment that sold him and his husband, Todd Lane, on the two-bedroom, 2½-bath condo in the Rivers Edge development on Logan Square.
The unit on the 9th and 10th floors has unobstructed views of the Schuylkill past 30th Street Station, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Boathouse Row. And residents have access to the roof deck with 360-degree city views.
“It’s just amazing,” said Goldberg, an oral surgeon who had been practicing in the Reading suburbs and looking for a retirement home for himself and Lane, a communications vice president for a major bank.
But he and Lane now want to rent rather than own and will be moving elsewhere in the city.
The entry level has a large foyer, coat closet, powder room, and a laundry room with washer and dryer.
The living area below has epoxy-concrete floors and recessed LED lighting
The open kitchen has stainless steel appliances, two side-by-side refrigerators, a Kitchen Aid stove with vented hood, and breakfast bar with quartz countertops.
The living and dining area is wrapped by a balcony with floor-to-ceiling glass doors.
The primary bedroom has city skyline views and a white bathroom with double sinks, a walk-in shower, and ample storage room.
The second bedroom, which could serve well as a home office, also has an en suite bathroom and city skyline views.
The building is a short walk to Center City, Rittenhouse Square, Suburban Station, University City, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Major highways including I-76, I-676, and I-95 are easily accessible.
There is a 24-hour doorman and parking space for one car in the basement.
The 1,455-square-foot unit is listed by Leanne Hirsch of Keller Williams Philadelphia for $699,000.
