About this home
Welcome to Unit 5E at The Rittenhouse Plaza - a residence that exudes timeless elegance in one of Philadelphia’s most iconic pre-war co-op buildings. The Plaza is renowned for its attentive staff: desk attendants, door people, housekeeping, and more, each of whom is exceptional, consistently going above and beyond and always amenable to special requests.
Perfectly situated on Rittenhouse Square, this sophisticated home spans approximately 1,545 square feet and offers both southern and northern exposures with stunning views of the Square. Freshly painted and featuring beautiful hardwood floors, this home is immediately move-in ready while still offering tremendous potential for customization or renovation. Several neighboring “E” units have been successfully reimagined as two-bedroom, two-bath layouts, providing a unique opportunity to transform this space to fit your vision.
Enter through a gracious gallery hallway, ideal for displaying art - that leads to abundant storage and a center hall floor plan. The spacious primary suite sits on the south side of the unit, complete with an updated bath, while the east corridor includes a laundry area, half bath, and back access to the kitchen with generous cabinet and counter space. The expansive living room showcases original inlaid hardwood floors, wainscoting, and classic architectural details, all framed by dual exposures with views of Rittenhouse Square from three oversized windows.
Life at The Rittenhouse Plaza combines historic charm with modern convenience. This pet-friendly co-op features a grand courtyard entrance, a beautiful lobby, 24-hour front desk services, a community room and library, and access to excellent fitness options. Residents may join The Laurel Condominium gym at 1909 Walnut Street for just $50/month, and also enjoy seasonal use of its outdoor pool for $350 per season. In addition, Equinox Gym is located directly next door for those seeking a premier fitness membership experience.
The monthly co-op fee is all-inclusive, covering real estate taxes, heat, water, sewer, building maintenance, and Fios cable/internet—offering ease and predictability in ownership. A one-time transfer fee equal to 1% of the purchase price is required at closing, and nearby parking garages provide convenient rental options within steps of your front door.
Set directly on Rittenhouse Square, this residence places you at the heart of Philadelphia’s most celebrated neighborhood, with world-class dining, shopping, cultural institutions, and local favorites like La Colombe, just outside your door. Whether you embrace its timeless appeal or reimagine the space, Unit 5E represents a rare opportunity to own in one of the city’s most coveted addresses.
