Listing description

Welcome to residence 2I at the Western Union — one of Center City's most storied addresses. This exceptional corner home offers two bedrooms plus a versatile den that can easily be converted into a 3rd bedroom, and two full baths, across an open and airy floor plan, filled with natural light from oversized windows on two exposures. Soaring ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors set a sophisticated tone throughout, while the private balcony extends your living space outdoors. What truly sets this residence apart is a combination rarely found in Center City high-rise living: three dedicated storage units and one-car garage parking — an unmatched package of convenience for the urban homeowner. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a generous island ideal for casual dining and entertaining. Both bedrooms are generously sized with oversized walk-in closets, and the spa-inspired primary bath features marble tile, a double vanity, soaking tub, and separate glass-enclosed shower. The den adapts effortlessly to your lifestyle — home office, media room, or guest space. All of this within the landmark Western Union Building, a 12-story adaptive reuse of Philadelphia's historic 1920s Western Union Telegraph headquarters, designed by Cecil Baker. Building amenities include 24-hour concierge, fitness center, and pet-friendly policies, with condo fees covering water and gas cooking. Positioned at the crossroads of Washington Square West and the Avenue of the Arts, you're steps from acclaimed dining, Jefferson Health, and the energy of one of Philadelphia's most walkable neighborhoods.
