This beautiful studio apartment, which is available as soon as possible, is located in a large Pre-Civil War, circa 1840, three-story brick townhouse, located on the corner of Eleventh and Green Streets. It was the original large living room of the first floor of a rather large house - complete with much of the original substantial architectural woodwork and moldings and high ceilings. All of the windows are the new, energy-efficient, double-paned glass. There is a vestibule to the building, which is also very practical for heat savings for the house. The building is heated by comfortable and efficient gas, hot water radiators - which give a wonderfully even supply of heat, (rather that the "all-or-nothing", hot, then cold, of modern, forced hot air). The main room is large has a generous-sized closet. It has beautiful old and original wide-plank hardwood floors. There is the fireplace with a decorative mantle - although the fireplace is no longer functional. The chandelier is bronze and vintage. There is a beautiful ceiling mural of clouds in a blue sky, framed in the gold original molding around the room. The walls and woodwork are tastefully done in an historic color scheme - please see the photos. The eat-in kitchen large enough to have a table and chairs, under the art-glass lampshade. There is a gas oven/stove. The bathroom has a combination bath/shower. In this 400 square foot studio apartment, the ceilings, higher than in more modern buildings, add to the feeling of spaciousness. This apartment and the other two apartments in the building share clothes washer and dryer on the first floor of the building, a shady backyard, and shared access to storage in the basement. This studio apartment is centrally located on Eleventh Street at Green Street. The building is in an up and coming neighborhood that goes north from Spring Garden Street between Northern Liberties and Fairmount. It is one block north of Spring Garden Street; a block away from both the new music venue Union Transfer (where The Spaghetti Warehouse had been located), and Llama Tooth Restaurant, with its awesome food, craft beer, and fantastic outdoor garden seating. The building is quite convenient to the Center City (just 6 blocks north of City Hall), and most cultural and historic landmarks. It is within easy walking distance to Chinatown and the Reading Terminal Market, and is convenient to numerous restaurants and theaters. This location is very convenient to many of the local hospitals or educational institutions in the area. Local institutions include: The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Hospital, Hahnemann Hospital, Thomas Jefferson Hospital, Temple University (undergrad, Tyler School of Art, medical, dental, and legal schools), Drexel University (undergrad and College of Medicine), the University of Pennsylvania (undergrad, Wharton School of Business, as well as their legal and medical schools), Community College of Philadelphia, the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia University, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the University of the Arts, Moore College of Art. There is easy access to public transportation. The #23 Bus line runs south to South Philadelphia, via center city, on 12th Street; and north, passing Temple University and beyond to Chestnut Hill, on 11th Street. Or, take the very short, 4-block walk to the Broad Street Subway. There are also buses running along the very nearby streets of Spring Garden Street, Ridge Avenue and Broad Street. It is only a 10-minute bike ride to Temple University, Rittenhouse Square, The Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Old City section; about a 7-minute bike ride to Thomas Jefferson Hospital, The Academy of Fine Arts, Hahnemann Hospital, and City Hall - the center of the downtown area; and a short walk or 5-minute, (or less) bike ride to the Reading Terminal Market and Chinatown.
