New Standards of Luxury

The word ‘luxury’ gets thrown about a great deal in real estate—so much so that the word has almost become devoid of meaning. But it’s a word one shouldn’t forget or count out. [Read more]

Philadelphia Ultra Luxe! 101 Walnut, Open House 2.24.08

2008 is bringing a great deal of change to Philadelphia–A progressive new government, the relocation of several major employers to the city, tax cuts, great new restaurants, and top national retailers to Walnut Street. So if Barney’s CO-OP is what’s next in retail, then what’s next in real estate?

For boutique modern luxury, 101 Walnut is what’s next. Located at the intersection of Society Hill and Old City, 101 Walnut offers Philadelphia’s finest new residences and a new take on ultra-luxury living.

As a city with one of the oldest built fabrics in the country, twenty-first century luxury doesn’t always fit so comfortably into Philadelphia’s nineteenth-century structures. Philadelphia’s most prestigious center-city addresses have traditionally been trophy town homes offering incredible facades and storybook settings. But these homes were designed to house large families and often their live-in staff in a very different time. Much of the square footage is lost to a rabbit warren of maids quarters and kids room. Views are generally limited. The tallest and deepest homes are typically the darkest. And for discrete buyers, privacy can be likewise be in short supply.

101 Walnut stands out as a perfect counter-point to these traditional Philadelphia offerings. The location is landmark yet discreet; surrounded by history, yet soaring into a new era. Entering the building, state-of-the-art Siedle security and entry management systems allow for precision and privacy. A gleaming lobby leads to an electronically keyed elevator ensuring secure access to each full floor residence. Each residence offers a generous elevator lobby with dramatic double doors—a perfect transitional space to ensure absolute privacy.

The initial impression upon entry into the living area is nothing short of jaw dropping. High ceilings and expansive spaces reveal the generous scale of the unit. The floor-to-ceiling windows open onto Philadelphia’s most stunning view. Encompassing 270 degrees of horizon and sky, 101 Walnut’s unique location offers unobstructed views of the Delaware River, Philadelphia’s ever-growing skyline, and three states. Generous, indulgent public spaces flow into stunning bedroom suites. Expansive kitchens feature designer Poggenpohl cabinetry and Miele appliances. The bathrooms are easily the finest in the city, fitted with ultra-luxe Dornbracht fixtures, and offering dramatic western views toward City Hall. Further, each residence features two over-scaled terraces–one servicing the public spaces and one servicing the master.

While 101 Walnut may be what’s next, it may not be available much longer. This new landmark for modern ultra-luxury has only a select few units remaining.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint Fishtown Style!

The amount of carbon dioxide you give off during your everyday life is your carbon footprint. Everybody leaves one, but some are worse then others. It is important to be conscience of our actions and how they effect the environment. In addition, we can take actions to offset our production such as planting trees and preserving green space. The website www.Carbonfootprint.com is a great reference. It has a Carbon Calculator to help you determine the amount of Carbon Dioxide your daily activities produce. The site provides many tips for reducing output as well as interesting services, such as purchasing a tree to be planted overseas.

Philadelphia is taking a positive step toward a greener city with the introduction of the first LEED Certified Residential Town Homes in Fishtown. (To learn more about LEED certification visit www.LeedPhilly.com). They are located at 1317 E Berks and 1318 E Hewson. These efficient homes have features that dramatically reduce the carbon footprint of its owners, including Energy Star appliances and the Green Roof Deck.
