Brand-name mid-century architects and newly renovated homes in the sky make this a choice address.

In the middle of the Philadelphia’s Art Museum Area neighborhood, one of the most scenic mixes of green space and public buildings along the East Coast, is the three-building apartment community called Park Towne Place. The complex sports the clean lines, blond brick and sharp corners representative of its mid-century origin. Its amenity-laden campus of almost nine acres creates a park-like setting for residents. Park Towne Place puts its residents steps from the city’s major museums, from The Philadelphia Museum of Art, the glorious golden temple on the hill, to the imposing Franklin Institute on the south end with the Barnes Foundation and Rodin Museum in between. Alternately, step out your front door and in minutes, be on a bike trail that runs along the Schuylkill River through Fairmount Park.  The area also provides easy access to I-76 and 30th Street Station for commuters. And because we are in Philadelphia, after all, expect a wide range of neighborhood restaurants and pubs to choose from, along with a Whole Foods across the street. Here’s more information on the community from Cary Simons, Kurfiss Sotheby’s International Realty listing agent for the penthouses at Park Towne Place.

The All-New Park Towne Penthouses

For those who want a prime city residence with panoramic views in the Art Museum Area, the Park Towne Place penthouses are one of the newest options in the neighborhood. Come home to on-site parking. Step into an art-filled lobby with a 24-hour concierge. Head up to your private world, freshly redesigned and renovated, with living spaces lined in windows for sun-splashed interiors. New wood floors, new lighting, fireplaces with a granite surround and freshly painted walls create a neutral canvas for any style. Best of all, Park Towne Place’s penthouses have been outfitted with sleek, modern kitchens with glass-front cabinets, glass backsplashes, built-in wine refrigerator, Quartz countertops and stainless steel GE Café appliances. Equally well-designed bathrooms offer generous storage, double vanity sinks in the main suite baths, all-new tile and glass showers and Quart countertops. There are in-unit laundry facilities, too.

The Park Towne Place penthouses offer a number of floor plans – some have stunning cityscape views while others look out to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Some have private balconies large enough for fresh air and al fresco dining.
