Property Description

Perfectly positioned on a quiet residential block in the heart of Olde Kensington, this sun-soaked corner penthouse offers the rare combination of deeded parking, private outdoor space, skyline views, and approximately two years remaining on the tax abatement. Occupying the top floor of a boutique condominium building, this two-bedroom, two-bath residence was thoughtfully designed to maximize both natural light and livability. Wide-plank hardwood flooring, oversized windows on multiple exposures, and an open-concept layout create an airy, inviting atmosphere from the moment you enter. At the center of the home, the kitchen seamlessly connects to the living and dining areas, making everyday living and entertaining effortless. Featuring stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, generous counter space, and an oversized peninsula with seating, it’s a space designed for everything from casual mornings to dinner with friends. The desirable split-bedroom layout provides exceptional privacy, with the spacious primary suite offering a walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed en-suite bath. The second bedroom and full hall bath are thoughtfully situated on the opposite side of the home, making the space equally ideal for guests, a home office, or roommates. An in-unit washer and dryer, abundant closet space, and an updated HVAC system further enhance the home’s comfort and convenience. Upstairs, your private roof deck becomes a true extension of the living space. Enjoy panoramic views stretching from the Ben Franklin Bridge to the Center City skyline while grilling, entertaining, gardening, or simply unwinding above the city. Adding to the appeal, this home includes one deeded off-street parking space, a coveted luxury in the neighborhood. Water is included in the monthly condominium fee, and residents also enjoy access to a neighborhood dog park. Situated at the crossroads of Olde Kensington, Fishtown, and Northern Liberties, you’ll find some of Philadelphia’s most celebrated restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, boutiques, and entertainment venues just moments from your front door. Commuting is equally convenient with nearby access to the Market-Frankford Line, SEPTA bus routes, and I-95, placing Center City and beyond within easy reach. Offering modern finishes, exceptional outdoor space, deeded parking, and one of Philadelphia’s most vibrant locations, 1214 N. Orkney Street, Unit 3 delivers the best of city living.
