About 2200 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy #w1706
Tucked into the upper floors of one of Philadelphia's most recognized residential towers, this one-bedroom, one-bathroom home rewards those who find it with sweeping elevated views and a layout designed around the way people actually live. At 655 square feet, every inch feels considered — the open floor plan stretches from a well-appointed kitchen through a generous living area, the whole space anchored by natural light and clean, modern finishes.
The kitchen is where the day finds its rhythm. Upgraded countertops provide a clean, durable workspace whether you are slicing fruit at seven in the morning or setting out a spread for guests on a Friday evening. Stainless steel appliances line the space with purpose: a self-cleaning oven, a built-in microwave, a refrigerator with an ice maker, a dishwasher that handles cleanup quietly while you move on to other things. Recessed lighting keeps the mood bright without overhead harshness, and window treatments let you tune the light exactly as you want it. The disposal and dedicated washer and dryer mean the practical side of home life stays low-friction — no laundry bag trips, no waiting for a shared machine.
The bedroom is a calm retreat, reachable from the main living space without crossing unnecessary steps, with a walk-in closet that genuinely earns that description. Storage is rarely a complaint here. The bathroom is clean and accessible, and the overall arrangement of the unit follows the logic of someone who wants their home to feel larger than its footprint.
Beyond the front door, the community at Park Towne Place adds a full range of options for how you spend your time at home. The fitness center handles the morning workout. The rooftop deck shifts an ordinary Tuesday evening into something worth looking forward to. The pool and spa offer a place to decompress, while the sauna carries the kind of amenity you would not expect to find without a hotel stay. A game room, clubhouse, and meeting room give residents social and professional space outside their apartments. A jogging path and dog park extend the living area outdoors, and the gated, secured property with on-site concierge and security means peace of mind is built in rather than added on. Garage parking is available for those who keep a car, and additional storage is accessible through the building.
Commuting from this address runs on good options. The apartment's position in the city puts Center City well within reach, and the transit infrastructure surrounding the neighborhood supports a genuinely car-optional lifestyle for those who prefer it. Whether the destination is a downtown office, a museum corridor afternoon, or a dinner reservation along the Avenue of the Arts, the city moves toward you rather than the other way around. Pets are welcome, which means the dog park and the surrounding walkable streets become part of the daily routine without compromise.
Philadelphia rewards the residents who find the right perch, and the seventeenth floor here is that kind of perch — elevated enough to feel removed from the street, connected enough to everything that makes the city worth living in. Pricing and availability subject to change on a daily basis. Photos are of model units. Parking may be available subject to availability and may be an additional fee.
