Unit/Flat

A renovated one-bedroom at The Rittenhouse doesn't come up often. Step off the elevator into a private entry floored in diagonal-laid marble tile, and the apartment opens into a bright corner great-room wrapped in windows. On the seventeenth floor facing southwest, the light runs late into the day — the kind of afternoon sun that stretches across the oak floors and pulls the city skyline right into the room. The renovation is thorough. The kitchen pairs white shaker cabinetry with waterfall-veined quartz counters and a full-height picket-marble backsplash, finished with stainless appliances and a vented hood. Wide-plank oak runs through the living and dining area — a space large enough for both, plus a reading nook or a desk, which is what makes 1,037 square feet live like more than a typical one-bedroom. The full bath and powder room are turnkey, down to the crystal vanity light. Nothing here needs your attention; you move in. Then there's the building. Life at The Rittenhouse means a 24-hour concierge who actually does things: a house town car with a driver, dog walking, package handling, and messengers who'll run out for your dry cleaning, prescriptions, or dinner. Residents get ten passes to the hotel's pool and spa, room service and housekeeping through the hotel, and the option to open a house account and simply charge it. Bike and private storage are available — lock-and-leave living in the fullest sense. Outside the door is Rittenhouse Square itself: the park, the Saturday farmers market, Parc on the corner, and the boutiques of Walnut Street a short walk away. Parking is available on-site through the hotel, though in this pocket of the city you may rarely reach for the keys.
