Listing description

Step through the wrought-iron gates of Garden Court Condominiums and discover one of West Philadelphia’s most distinctive residential settings. This spacious first-floor residence offers approximately 1,295 square feet with two bedrooms, one full bath, and the generous proportions and architectural character rarely found in newer construction. Inside, wood floors, recessed lighting, a dedicated dining area, a decorative fireplace, and excellent closet space—including a walk-in closet—create a comfortable and versatile home. The current owner previously removed the door to one bedroom, opening the space into the adjoining living area and creating a large living room centered around the fireplace. A new door and entry are now being custom-built to restore the room’s ability to function as a private second bedroom while preserving the home’s flexibility and sense of openness. Completion is expected shortly. The kitchen is equipped with a gas range, dishwasher, and refrigerator, while an in-unit washer and dryer add everyday convenience. Built in 1920, Garden Court is known for its striking Art Deco architecture and extraordinary landscaped courtyard. The gardens pictured on page two of the listing feature mature trees, lush plantings, fountains, winding walkways, and inviting spaces that feel remarkably removed from the surrounding city. Residents also enjoy a gated entrance, on-site professional management, an indoor pool, fitness center, community and meeting rooms, elevators, and shared laundry facilities. The condominium fee includes heat, water, exterior and common-area maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, and trash service. Conveniently located in Garden Court near neighborhood shops, restaurants, parks, universities, and public transportation, this is a rare opportunity to own a substantial home in one of West Philadelphia’s most memorable communities.
