Meticulously maintained Barclay condominium overlooking Rittenhouse Square. This rarely available home at the highly coveted Barclay Condominium offers original architectural details, rich wood flooring, high ceilings, excellent entertaining space, and oversized windows showcasing panoramic views of the sunset over Rittenhouse Square, as well as sunrise views over the Center City skyline. Enter through a foyer with coat closet into a central gallery with parquet wood floors and a storage closet, ideal to be used as an entrance hall, alternate dining room or other entertaining space. Past the gallery is the expansive living room with two walls of tall windows offering views of The Square and a gorgeous fireplace with marble surround. Open to the living room is a grand dining room, perfect for hosting large dinners, with northeastern Center City views and a decorative fireplace mantle. Accessible from the central gallery and living room is a sun-soaked family room (or third bedroom) with another stunning fireplace mantle and direct views over The Square. The bright, eat-in kitchen features a breakfast nook with storage closet, white cabinetry with custom inserts, double stainless steel sink with disposal, large paned window providing excellent natural light, and a terracotta tile floor. Off of the kitchen is a butlers pantry with another double bowl stainless steel sink, glass-paned display cabinetry, white tile backsplash, and a stunning circular pendant light. Adjacent to the pantry is a bonus room that can easily be used as a home office, den or even a fourth small bedroom. It has a large window overlooking Saint Mark's Church, laundry closet with stacked washer/dryer, large wall closet, and ensuite bathroom with tub-shower. The incredibly spacious primary suite, currently being used as an office, enjoys more windows with Rittenhouse Square views, a deep wall closet, and an attached hallway with a large wall closet leading to the full bathroom featuring a tub-shower, white tilework, and another gorgeous pendant light.
