Cu257, Featured Philadelphia New Construction
April 23, 2008 by Philadelphia's Remax City Space
Cu257 is a five story, 10 unit boutique building in Old City. Each unit is configured with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 or 3 baths. They are about 2,400 square feet, have floor to ceiling windows with great views, private balconies, hi-end finishes, and parking. Kitchens are outfitted with Wolf cooking, Fisher & Paykel drawer-style dishwashers, and a Liebherr 48” refrigerator with built-in wine storage.
What makes Cu257’s units unique are their layouts. You enter from the core of the building and walk through a long gallery hall to get to the living space. This setup is perfect for art collectors who need plenty of wall space to display their artwork. The floor-to-ceiling windows bring in plenty of light and allow spectacular views of the Ben Franklin Bridge. The East units have a long window in the kitchen where the backsplash would be, as well as an equally cool light above the cabinets.
Carpeting is standard in the bedrooms, with hardwoods offered for a $15,000 upgrade. I would opt for the woods, as it will keep the airy theme throughout the property. The kitchen cabinets are a very modern wood grain that I thought would look great with a solid countertop.
Prices start at $899,000 for the first level, topping out at $1,799,000 for a penthouse. Condo fees are low at $.24 per square foot, with all utilities except plug-in electric included. Each unit comes with one garage parking space. If you are looking for a great location, excellent views and a gallery for your artwork, look no further!
