    What's special

    Welcome to River's Meeting, a courtyard community of 12 homes in one of the most quaint and tranquil enclaves in the city located in arguably one of Philadelphia's most lovely and leafy neighborhoods, Queen Village. Walk to delightful bistros, gourmet food shops, friendly cafes, fine restaurants, and local pubs and enjoy proximity to South Street, Society Hill, Penn's Landing and the Italian Market. The Meredith School catchment makes the address even more coveted and off-street parking just outside your door is the icing on the cake. This home is set back off the street and is quiet and secure, perfect for the individual seeking the excitement of an urban lifestyle while offering the respite of private living. A beautiful brick facade with large windows offer fantastic curb appeal and once inside, you are greeted with a sunny, well-organized floor plan. You'll love the gleaming hardwood floors, recessed lighting, freshly painted walls and light-filled rooms. The kitchen is on the street level and is modern with bright white painted shaker-style cabinets, a classic subway tile backsplash, spotless white granite countertops and sparkling stainless steel appliances. A door from the kitchen leads to a private patio with space for entertaining and for late summer nights grilling and dining al fresco. On the second floor you'll find a sun-drenched living room with a wood-burning fireplace and attached den with convenient tucked-away powder room. The third floor beams under a huge skylight and features two bedrooms with custom California Closets and a beautiful hall bath with tub and marble details. The unit also features all new windows, new hardwood floors, new washer and dryer, a newer HVAC system, very low association fees and pets are welcome! Perfect for the individual who loves the pulse of the city and the quiet of their own private residence.
