Unit with balcony and parking - one of a kind. Welcome to unit 2213 at 2001 Hamilton Street, a penthouse-level residence perched on the 22nd floor in the heart of Philadelphia's beloved Art Museum Area. From the moment you step inside, the city opens up before you in a sweeping panorama that transforms every ordinary morning into something quietly extraordinary. This is not simply a place to live — it is a vantage point, a retreat, and a front-row seat to one of Philadelphia's most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods. Inside, the layout is thoughtfully composed, delivering a full bedroom and a well-appointed full bath within an efficiently designed contemporary footprint. Natural light moves through the room as the day progresses, shifting the mood from bright and energizing in the morning to warm and amber-toned by evening. The contemporary style lends a clean, modern sensibility that complements rather than competes with those extraordinary views. Central air conditioning keeps the interior comfortable year-round, and the building's masonry construction provides the kind of quiet solidity that makes a high-rise home feel genuinely peaceful. What elevates this ownership experience well beyond the four walls of the unit itself is the remarkable suite of amenities included. The building features an outdoor pool, a fitness center, a clubhouse, and community spaces that give residents an active, social living environment without ever leaving the building. A dedicated garage parking space is included — a genuinely valuable asset in this part of the city — and elevator access makes the 22nd floor feel as convenient as the ground level. Step outside and the neighborhood rewards you immediately. With a Walk Score of 95, daily errands, spontaneous dinners, morning coffee runs, and weekend brunches are all entirely on foot. Whole Foods Market is essentially at your doorstep, making grocery runs a simple errand rather than a logistical undertaking. Sabrina's Cafe at the Art Museum is just a short stroll away for legendary weekend brunches, and Cafe Lift offers another beloved spot for a relaxed morning meal. Kansai Japanese Cuisine, Doma Japanese Restaurant, and King of Tandoor bring refined and aromatic flavors to the local dining landscape. For casual evenings, Kite and Key and Kelliann's Bar and Grill provide easy neighborhood gathering spots. Federal Donuts rounds out a dining scene that genuinely delivers on variety and quality. Fitness options are equally impressive. Philadelphia Sports Club, Lumos Yoga and Barre, and Retro Fitness are all within easy reach, complementing the building's own exercise facilities for a lifestyle that makes staying active feel effortless. A Transit Score of 79 and 29 nearby routes — including 28 bus lines and a rail connection — mean the rest of the city is reliably accessible without depending on a car. The Art Museum Area carries a particular energy that long-time residents genuinely treasure. It sits at a crossroads of culture, green space, and neighborhood warmth, with the Barnes Foundation nearby and the grand parkway boulevard adding civic grandeur to everyday life. This is a neighborhood that feels both central and residential — alive enough to energize and grounded enough to feel like home. For anyone seeking an ownership experience that combines genuine architectural drama with a vibrant, walkable community and a building that takes the work out of maintenance and amenity access, this residence deserves a serious look.

Classic Fairmount row on a charming tree-lined street with an 85-foot-deep lot. Good condition and ready for its next owner to make their own. The details and charm that matter are still intact here, hasn't been flipped with the history sanded off. Step inside to a combined living and dining room with high ceilings, original hardwoods and staircase, crown molding, and updated lighting. The sunny kitchen has a gas range, white cabinetry, and opens out to a large yard with plenty of room for a deck, a garden, dogs, or all three. Upstairs are two good-sized bedrooms. The primary has a walk-in closet with custom Elfa shelving. The bath is bigger than usual, with a window and a large double vanity. The second bedroom is a comfortable size, whether you need another bedroom or an office. Interior doors are solid wood, and fresh paint throughout keeps it clean and current, so you can move in or update and put your own stamp on it over time. The full basement is unfinished, with a washer and dryer in place and plenty of room for storage. Central air and gas heat keep the house comfortable year-round. Great location near everything Fairmount and Brewerytown have to offer. Grab coffee at Lucky Goat, Musette, or Brown Street. Dinner and drinks are steps away, including Human Robot, Spot Burger, Baby's Kusina, Otto's Taproom, Hilltown Tavern, and RyBrew. The Schuylkill River Trail, Kelly Drive, and Fairmount Park are nearby for runs, rides and dog walks, and the Art Museum is right here. SEPTA buses and trolleys are close by, with easy access to Center City and beyond.
