MARLA SCHECHTER

Description

From the moment you step through the doors of P1501, it’s immediately clear this home has been designed with no detail overlooked. A sense of quiet elegance fills the space, beginning in the foyer, where specialty wall finishes shimmer beneath a Schonbek crystal chandelier. The polished marble tile flooring, which continues throughout the residence, sets a tone of refinement, while a double coat closet adds concealed functionality. Just off the entry, the powder room offers a touch of sophistication with its custom vanity, stone countertop, and designer lighting—a perfect welcome for guests. Heading into the main living area, the home opens to breathtaking scale. Ten-foot ceilings, crown moulding, and floor-to-ceiling windows showcase uninterrupted views of the Delaware River and Ben Franklin Bridge, bathing the interiors in natural light. The coffered ceiling, finished in a Venetian-inspired, hand-painted metallic plaster, captures the glow of day and the shimmer of evening chandeliers. Imported draperies frame the walls of glass. Suspended above the dining table, a Swarovski crystal orb chandelier becomes a sculptural centerpiece, highlighting this seating area. Continuing into the kitchen, form and function unite in harmony. Granite countertops contrast beautifully with custom cream cabinetry detailed with glass fronts, complemented by a natural stone backsplash and under-cabinet lighting. A built-in wine refrigerator and full stainless-steel appliance package enhance the space’s practicality, while the open layout encourages both culinary creativity and effortless entertaining. Every element here feels balanced—warm, welcoming, and meticulously crafted. Beyond the kitchen, the den transitions into an intimate media room, enveloped in sound thanks to the built-in surround system. The polished marble continues underfoot, maintaining visual flow, while layered lighting creates a cozy ambiance ideal for film, music, or quiet evenings in. The den features custom built-in cabinetry thoughtfully designed to conceal multimedia components, maintaining a clean, streamlined aesthetic. Versatile in function, this space transitions effortlessly between a media room as currently styled, a home office, or an extension of the kitchen for those seeking an open, connected layout. Stepping through glass doors, the balcony extends the living space outdoors. Here, the river and skyline unfold in full panorama—the bridge’s architectural lines rising gracefully above the water. It’s a peaceful setting that feels miles away from the city below. A frost panel design, glass door separates the private wing from the entertaining spaces beautifully, while allowing light to filter through. Each of the three bedrooms offers its own unique vantage and luxurious feel. The primary suite is a private retreat with a spa-inspired en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and serene river views. Additional bedrooms ensure ample space for both relaxation and productivity. Every bath is finished with custom tilework, and high-end fixtures, continuing the home’s elevated aesthetic. Completing the offering are two premium parking licenses and a storage unit, ensuring convenience and peace of mind. All crystal light fixtures convey. Waterfront Square Condominium & Spa is Philadelphia’s premier gated waterfront community, offering 24/7 guard and gate security, concierge. Residents enjoy resort-style amenities including an indoor pool and hot tub with river deck, fitness center, sauna and steam rooms, massage suites, and community lounges.
