Experience refined living in this exceptional five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom residence at The Barclay, a distinguished full-service condominium in Rittenhouse Square. This nearly 5,000-square-foot home blends classic prewar architecture with modern amenities, offering a versatile layout that accommodates both elegant entertaining and everyday comfort.
The residence features high ceilings, inlaid and herringbone hardwood floors, detailed millwork, designer lighting, and oversized windows on all four sides. A welcoming foyer and expansive entry gallery set a sophisticated tone, complemented by practical coat closets and a stylish powder room.
The formal living room, with custom cabinetry and a fireplace, provides picturesque views of Rittenhouse Square. The adjacent formal dining room boasts built-in features, designer window and wall coverings, and historic architectural details. Two archways lead to a second living area, ideal for a music room or library.
The kitchen, with its park views, is designed for both cooking and gathering. It includes custom Joanne Hudson cabinetry, granite counters, a large center island, and upscale stainless steel appliances, such as a Sub-Zero refrigerator, vented gas range, wall ovens, warming drawer, two dishwashers, and a built-in microwave. A guest suite off the kitchen offers a private bathroom, closet, and tree-top views.
The bedroom wing, accessible through double doors from the foyer, includes a spacious owner's retreat with a private sitting room, a large bedroom with two bathrooms (one with a soaking tub and shower), and extensive closet space. Three additional suites, each with private baths and closets, include one that serves as a sophisticated office with custom bookshelves and a built-in desk.
Additional features include a service entry with ample storage, a large laundry room with cabinets, another closet, and a wine refrigerator. A small fifth bedroom suite, connecting to both the bedroom wing and service hall, can function as a secondary office or staff room.
The home benefits from central HVAC and radiant heating, and integrated speakers enhance its comfort.
The Barclay, a neo-Adam brick and limestone landmark built in 1928 by J.E.R. Carpenter, originally an upscale hotel and converted to condominiums in 1999, offers residents a regal lobby, concierge service, on-site management, a fitness center, access to a chauffeur-driven Mercedes S-Class, and Stephen Starr's Barclay Prime steakhouse. Located in the heart of Rittenhouse Square, it provides easy access to the park, premier shopping, dining, and Philadelphia's historic sites and cultural institutions.
