A truly extraordinary opportunity awaits the next owners of 1830 Rittenhouse Square, 16B.With the intention of completely re-designing this two bedroom, two-and-a-half bath 1700 sf home, the seller has totally stripped it to its walls. Due to a change of plans, the home is being sold as is. This presents two choices to the buyer: to use the existing design by the Award winning Designer Ernest de la Torre with Edward Robinson Architecture blueprints and permits in order to carry out the intended re-do, or to visualize this as a blank slate, from tweaking a few details to customizing the apartment completely to their own liking.Note that the brand-new kitchen cabinetry and its Wolf and Sub Zero stainless steel appliances, though packed away and saved, can be re-installed, if desired.Unchangeable are the magnificent views over the Square and the city skyline: the icing on the cake of this elegant home. Constructed in 1913, this iconic building on the Square was designed by notable local architect Frederick Webber. It was the first high-rise residential building on the Square. Built in the Beaux Arts Style, its French influence particularly stands out in the decorative cast iron marquee over the front entrance. 1830 Rittenhouse is also the only building left in Philadelphia with an elevator operator.The neighborhood boasts many top rated restaurants, chic shops, arts and cultural opportunities, and easy access to the airport, 30th Street Station, and highways.
