Property Description

Tucked into a sun-filled corner of Center City, unit 1817 at The Jessup House reveals itself as the kind of space that rewards a closer look — compact in footprint, thoughtfully composed in every detail, and connected to a building that punches well above its square footage. At 539 square feet, this one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence makes every inch count, and an open floor plan ensures the living area never feels like a compromise. Step inside and the kitchen draws you in immediately. Upgraded countertops anchor the space, and recessed lighting keeps things bright whether you are prepping a weeknight dinner or putting together a slow weekend brunch. A full suite of appliances — refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, disposal, and a self-cleaning oven — means the kitchen is genuinely equipped for daily life rather than just staged for a photo. An in-unit washer and dryer tucked into the layout means laundry stays on your schedule, and the walk-in closet off the bedroom gives you real storage in a city where storage is rarely a given. Window treatments and ceiling fans keep the light and temperature exactly where you want them throughout the year. The bedroom itself is positioned at entry level within the unit, an open and accessible arrangement that flows naturally from the living space. Recessed lighting continues here, keeping the room feeling clean and considered rather than improvised. Now step back and look at the building around you. The Jessup House, completed in 2023, brings a full roster of community amenities that genuinely expand how you live. Downstairs, the fitness center gives you a reason to skip the gym membership and a reason to actually use it — modern equipment close enough that you have no excuse on a Tuesday morning. The game room offers a place to decompress in a different way, and the meeting room is the kind of amenity that earns its keep the first time you need to take a professional call or host a small group without surrendering your living room. A gated entry and dedicated security provide a layer of peace of mind, and concierge service means there is someone in your corner when packages arrive or questions come up. When the temperature rises and the evening light softens, the roof deck becomes the floor you wish you lived on. Panoramic city views, open air, and the kind of breathing room that a Center City apartment does not always offer. The picnic area and pool extend that outdoor living further, giving residents genuine options for how to spend a summer afternoon that do not require leaving the building. Parking is available in the on-site garage — a meaningful convenience in a neighborhood where street parking is rarely a reliable strategy. Pets are welcome here, with both cats and dogs considered, subject to size, weight, and breed restrictions and a required deposit, so your four-legged companion can settle into Center City life alongside you. Speaking of Center City — living here means the city is genuinely walkable in every direction. The density of the neighborhood places restaurants, coffee shops, grocers, and cultural institutions within easy reach on foot, and the transit infrastructure surrounding this part of Philadelphia means the rest of the city is never far. Whether your commute runs north, south, or across the river, the connections available from this address make car-optional living a realistic daily practice rather than an aspiration. Pricing and availability subject to change on a daily basis. Photos are of model units. Parking may be available subject to availability and may be an additional fee.
