Large two-bedroom Co-Op at Penn Center House. The building is on the border between the Rittenhouse House Square and Logan Square neighborhoods. The reasonable prices of the units and the low monthly co-op fees make the building very manageable. The home has large scale rooms, lots of windows and great light. The entry vestibule leads to a large open living room with a dining area and a pass through to the kitchen with an overhanging counter for extra seating. The kitchen was renovated and has French doors, contemporary white cabinets, and appliances. The bathroom was upgraded and has a stall shower with framed glass doors. There are a lot of closet and storage spaces, including two large walk-in closets, a standard bedroom closet in the second bedroom, a linen closet, and built-ins in the laundry room. The full-size washer and dryer are in an upgraded separate room behind a custom cabinet with overhead shelving. The monthly co-op fee includes heat, air conditioning, electricity, water, basic cable, real estate taxes and building maintenance services. Owners praise the maintenance staff, which handle most of the repair work within owner’s units. The building has 24-hour security and a door attendant, on-site 24-hour maintenance staff, management office, fitness center, community room, library, roof-top deck, guest suites, and common laundry room. The fitness center has an annual fee of just $125. There is an on-site parking garage available ($145 per month), which is one of the best deals in the city.

There are many public transportation options within a few blocks. The Suburban train station is a block from the building. There are multiple bus routes within a block of the building and Amtrak’s 30th Street Station is just a few blocks walk.
