If you are looking for the wow factor and a truly special living space, you will find it at 511 York Square in Old City. This bi-level penthouse offers that wonderful combination of drama and practicality—not always an easy combination to achieve. Park your car in the included garage space, walk past the door person to the elevator, and open the door on the fifth floor to a home that immediately makes an impression. The main level features a spacious living and dining area, an open kitchen, a convenient powder room, and, best of all, two enormous sets of windows plus a sliding glass door leading to a wonderfully usable private terrace. With wood floors throughout and an abundance of natural light, this is a home that feels impressive without ever feeling formal. The open kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with a generous dining area, counter seating for four, granite countertops, and attractive white cabinetry. The conveniently located powder room means guests never need to venture upstairs to the private bedroom level. Here, you will find those same enormous windows in both bedrooms, filling each room with light and giving them an airy, open feeling. The second bedroom is conveniently located near the full hall bathroom, while the primary suite offers its own private terrace and ensuite bathroom. An additional secluded space is perfectly suited for a home office, giving you a dedicated place to work without sacrificing valuable living space. And there is more: the garage space and additional storage are included, while the building offers a lovely lobby and fitness room. Designed by renowned Philadelphia architect Cecil Baker, 511 York Square has been a popular Old City address for more than 20 years, offering the kind of combination that is hard to find—architectural design, generous proportions, abundant windows, private outdoor space, parking, storage, and an exceptional location. It is a very special home in a very special part of Philadelphia.Parking Space # 49 and storage bin #5.
