Listing description

Welcome to The Nest on Spruce Street — one of Rittenhouse Square's best-kept secrets for low-maintenance ownership. This second-floor, one bedroom, one bathroom condo sits in a striking Second Empire-style building on a quiet, historically protected block, with a monthly condo fee of just $200 — a fraction of what nearby doorman buildings charge. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout beneath tall ceilings and oversized windows that flood the unit with light and frame a picture-perfect view of the surrounding Philadelphia architecture. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, and the layout is efficient and well-planned, with generous closet space and the rare convenience of an in-unit washer/dryer. The location does the rest of the work: steps from Rittenhouse Square's restaurants, shops, and green space, a few blocks from the Schuylkill River walkway and a dog park, close to two supermarkets, and an easy walk to UPenn over the Walnut Street bridge. Street parking is available, with a nearby lot as backup. Second Empire charm, modern comfort, and one of the lowest condo fees in the neighborhood — this is Rittenhouse living made simple.
