House(s) of the Week: Firework Views for Every Budget

New Years Eve is prime entertaining time - and a home with firework views is the end-all-be-all of holiday entertaining.

But you don't have to be a millionaire to get those views.

This week, I've rounded up 5 homes from $325-899,000 currently for sale that would host some spectacular parties with the best of Philadelphia views. (Plus at least 2 beds for all of those crashing guests)

1027 Arch St, #607 - $325,000 



Large, 1300 sq ft loft with spectacular views over Center City. 2 beds (1 lofted) and 2 full baths. That open living concept, high ceilings and spectacular windows make a perfect party house.

Also having an open house this Sun, Jan 3rd, 12-1 PM

310 N Lawrence St - $514,900 


Ok, so maybe you aren't into the loft thing, but you still love to host a good party. Well luckily this historic Old City home with 3 beds and 2 full baths has a lovely open kitchen, gorgeous back yard AND a massive roof deck with firework views!

2200 Arch St #708 - $535,000 




So you are ok with the loft feel, and you love those spectacular city views, but you want a little more - like parking and a gym - with those condo fees. Then this 2 bed, 2 full bath unit might just be your pick.

1414 S Penn Square #20A - $785,000 




If you are buying for views, this one is hard to beat. Literally in the center of it all, this 2 bed, 2 full bath condo is stocked with amenities, including the perks of Ritz Carlton guests 24/7! Other amenities include valet parking to your designated spot, a lap pool, yoga studio and fantastic terrace overlooking Dilworth Plaza.

That does mean a hefty $1300 a month condo fee, but, hey, look at those views again!

113 N Bread St, #10A  - $899,000 



Can't get much closer to the Delaware River fireworks than this. 10 stories up with gorgeous views of the Ben Franklin, this 2 bed, 2 full bath condo with 1500 sq ft is a beautiful mix of concrete/modern and elegant built-ins.

This home is great for parties and everyday living!

Accessibility in Good Design

 I've been impressed lately with some of amount of accessible design features I've seen around as of late. By "accessible design", I mean home decor, renovations and design that is accessible to those with a physical impairment or disability.  First I noticed that back in March, Better Homes and Gardens did a great feature on a home designed with a wheelchaired child in mind.  Yes, it was a rancher and mid-century modern in design so it leant itself to move open-flow and clean line design. But even if this isn't your style, there were some great ideas here!  Check it out here  Then I saw Southern Living did a great home build with "adaptive design" in mind. This was a great feature because it reviewed new construction and slight changes in thinking to make just a welcoming, easy access home for all guests.  As noted in the article,  " If you’re going to be a good host, particularly from the Southern point of view, where we’re all about hospitality,

Philly Designers To Follow - Round 2!

 Two years ago I posted this list, rounding up some of my favorite local designers to follow (or hire!). Honestly, still in love with all of these designers and love seeing their businesses grow!  But I wanted to share a few more local designers to check out in 2022!  Crisco and Frisco  Via I actually just recently came across these two but am really interested in their work. A lot of its very modern and trendy but they seem to add something unexpected in all of their work and I LOVE that. Its so easy to get formulaic when your clients see something and want it, so they seem to have a fresh eye for adding uniqueness to that formula.  (I mean that tile combo!....)  Twelve Chairs Interiors The patterns! Ah! They know how to balance color and pattern with very tailored looks. Love it! I have a special place in my heart for their 1840 Greek Revival project in West Chester (PA)  Bare Root Design  Based in Bucks County, they feel very true to their location, with a key understanding of elev

House(s) of the Week: What It Buys You

This week's House of the Week is actually more than one. In fact, this week, we are looking at 15! Recently, a few people have brought up to me that the $300,000 house doesn't buy you much anymore. And hey, I can't disagree. Pull a search in Center City Philly and you don't have much to look at. The reason home buyers get so bummed about this is a lot of first-time home buyers can't afford more than $400K for a new home (in fact, most are probably cutting that number in half!) yet city living and the walkability it affords are very important to them. So the growing prices can be a let down. Walkable Fairmount So this week I looked at some of the most desirable neighborhoods in the greater Philly region and looked at what you could buy for $200,000-$400,000. I also looked at only walkable areas. So this list is comprised of affordable, generally move-in ready homes in the $200-400K range. So lets see what we found! Center City Philly Obviously Center
