Introducing the Laird, upscale living with historic beginnings. The Laird is a boutique 16 unit apartment building in a historical property that has been carefully and completely renovated inside and out. These renovations include all the modern conveniences expected in a contemporary apartment home while maintaining original details and character that can't be found in new construction towers. No two units are the same. Each unit has been thoughtfully designed.

A one-bedroom one bathroom apartment with an open layout. The main focal point of this beautiful unit is the soaring, 20' vaulted ceiling with dramatic uplighting and original arched window openings in the living room. These windows were historically envisioned to provide wonderful character to this unique unit. The unit also has been updated with wide-plank flooring and contemporary brushed gold and matte black fixtures. Off the living room is the kitchen which includes a quartz marble veined countertop, all-wood cabinets, undercabinet lighting, elegant herringbone tiled backsplash, and reclaimed wood shelves; also original to the building. The bedroom space flows from the living room in an open layout. The ensuite bathroom was hotel inspired with an elegant vanity, bronze fixtures, and a spacious shower with contemporary frameless glass doors. Additionally, the bath offers a large closet and washer and dryer. Recessed lights throughout. (A modern shaker sliding door system can be installed by the bedroom if desired). Just steps away from the unit is a large roof deck with adirondack chairs and amazing city views and lighting for night visits too!

Situated in the center of Philadelphia's vibrant Bella Vista neighborhood, The Laird is walking distance to area hospitals, universities, and the central business district. Just steps from Whole Foods, two city parks, multiple coffee shops and several popular bar/restaurants like Grace & Proper, The Good King and more! The Laird's location offers convenient access to the best of the city with the intimacy of a low-rise residential neighborhood.

The Laird offers our residents the security they deserve. The Butterfly® tenant concierge & security system provides keyless access to admit guests and allows for deliveries to be received from a smart phone anywhere in the world.

True to its vision of preserving the past, The Laird 's foyer enjoys 12-foot-high ceilings with the original tin covering from 1887; refurbished for today. In addition, elegant flooring, lighting and restored historic details throughout the common areas. Residents of The Laird have access to an exercise room equipped with a Peloton® and other exercise equipment; and a common roof deck with spectacular, unobstructed views of the city, Delaware River bridges and the stadiums, perfect for entertaining and viewing firework displays! Finally, the Laird is within the William Meredith catchment which is rated by US News & World Report as the #1 elementary school in Philadelphia.

This apartment's rent is 30.61% more expensive than the median rent of $1,627 for a 1-bedroom apartment in Bella Vista - Southwark, Philadelphia, PA.

The median is solely based on the area and the number of bedrooms. Listing-specific characteristics such as the number of bathrooms and the amenities will also impact the price.

The apartment is a unit offered at a monthly price of $2,125. Everything is still in great condition as the building only recently completed construction. The person posting the listing did not specify that any pets were allowed. It may be the case that pets are ok and the manager simply has not yet filled out all the details.

We have 17 photos of this particular unit, building, and surrounding areas.
