Listing description

Hardwood-style floors and an open layout set this one-bedroom apart from the moment you step inside, drawing you naturally from the entryway into a living space designed around how people actually live. At 739 square feet, unit 317 at Southstar offers a thoughtful arrangement of rooms that feels larger than its footprint suggests, with an open floor plan that keeps the kitchen, dining, and living areas connected rather than carved apart. Natural light moves through the space across the course of the day, shifting the atmosphere from bright and energizing in the morning to warm and settled by evening. The kitchen earns its place as a genuinely functional workspace rather than an afterthought. Upgraded countertops provide ample room for prepping meals, and the stainless steel appliance suite includes a stove, oven with self-cleaning function, microwave, refrigerator with ice maker, and dishwasher. A disposal keeps things tidy, and the layout positions everything within easy reach. When the day is done, the washer and dryer tucked inside the unit mean laundry happens on your schedule, not the building's. The bedroom is positioned as a true retreat, generous enough for a full furniture arrangement, and anchored by a walk-in closet that solves the storage question most apartments leave unanswered. The bathroom connects cleanly to the rest of the unit, and the overall flow of the home rewards the kind of quiet evening routine that makes a place feel genuinely yours. Southstar was completed in 2014, and the building's amenities reflect what a modern Philadelphia apartment community should offer. The roof deck is the kind of amenity that earns its reputation across all four seasons, whether you are watching the city skyline at dusk in October or sharing a summer evening around the picnic area with neighbors who have become something closer to friends. The fitness center is on-site and accessible without a commute, and the game room and meeting room give residents dedicated spaces for leisure and focused work alike. For those who arrive or leave by car, parking is available in the attached garage, keeping the practical question of where to put the vehicle fully resolved. Security features provide peace of mind throughout, and the elevator makes moving between floors straightforward for residents and guests. Dog owners will appreciate the dedicated dog park, and the building welcomes both cats and dogs, making it a genuinely pet-inclusive community. The commute picture from Southstar works in your favor regardless of your destination. The building sits in Philadelphia proper, placing residents within reasonable reach of Center City by multiple routes, and a car-free lifestyle is a realistic option for many residents depending on their daily patterns. The surrounding neighborhood offers the texture of a lived-in Philadelphia community, with the kind of independent businesses and urban infrastructure that make daily errands feel less like logistics and more like routine. A morning here takes shape quickly. Coffee brews in a kitchen that has the counter space and the equipment to support an actual breakfast. The walk-in closet handles the getting-ready phase without compromise. The elevator brings you to street level without delay, and the day begins on terms that feel manageable. In the evening, the roof deck offers a reliable transition from work mode to something slower, and the dog park gives four-legged residents a proper outlet before the night winds down. This is the rhythm that a well-designed apartment makes possible, and unit 317 is built to support it. Pricing and availability subject to change on a daily basis. Photos are of model units. Parking may be available subject to availability and may be an additional fee.
