202 W Rittenhouse Sq #1704, Philadelphia, PA 19103

A renovated one-bedroom at The Rittenhouse doesn't come up often. Step off the elevator into a private entry floored in diagonal-laid marble tile, and the apartment opens into a bright corner great-room wrapped in windows. On the seventeenth floor facing southwest, the light runs late into the day — the kind of afternoon sun that stretches across the oak floors and pulls the city skyline right into the room. The renovation is thorough. The kitchen pairs white shaker cabinetry with waterfall-veined quartz counters and a full-height picket-marble backsplash, finished with stainless appliances and a vented hood. Wide-plank oak runs through the living and dining area — a space large enough for both, plus a reading nook or a desk, which is what makes 1,037 square feet live like more than a typical one-bedroom. The full bath and powder room are turnkey, down to the crystal vanity light. Nothing here needs your attention; you move in. Then there's the building. Life at The Rittenhouse...
