Renovated Studio in the Heart of Rittenhouse Heat & Water Included $1,500/month | $500 OFF First Month Welcome to 309 S 16th Street, Apt 2F a fully renovated, light-filled studio in a classic 19th-century Philadelphia brick walkup, located just one block from Rittenhouse Square Park. This isn't a typical box-style studio: with a separate galley kitchen, a private hallway entry, and a spacious main living room with two large front-facing windows, this unit lives much larger than most Rittenhouse studios. Move-In Special: $500 off your first month's rent on a 12-month lease (limited time) A thoughtful layout that maximizes every inch: Enter through a private hallway that keeps your living space separate from the front door a rare and welcome feature in a studio. The hallway connects to a fully renovated galley kitchen on one side and a renovated bathroom on the other, opening into a bright, oversized main room with two large windows facing 16th Street, modern ceiling fan, and beautiful wood-plank flooring. A dedicated closet provides storage you can actually use. A kitchen you'll love to cook in: The fully renovated kitchen features crisp white shaker cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, a stainless steel undermount sink with gooseneck pull-down faucet, and a complete appliance package: full-size refrigerator/freezer, electric range, and overhead GE microwave with vent hood. Plenty of cabinet and drawer storage, plus a sunny kitchen window for natural light while you cook. A bathroom that feels like a boutique hotel: The bathroom has been completely redone with classic black-and-white hex tile flooring, white subway tile surround in the tub area, a newly glazed soaking tub, modern pedestal sink, new toilet, new mirrored medicine cabinet, and contemporary vanity lighting. Heat AND water included a rare and significant savings: Most Rittenhouse rentals pass utility costs on to the tenant. We don't. Heat and water are both included in your rent this alone saves most renters $1,500 $2,500 per year compared to comparable units. You're only responsible for electric (lights, appliances, your AC) and internet. There's a flat $25/month water/sewer fee. No having to deal with water bills.
