516 S 12th St Condo

This Beautiful and Modern Pet-Friendly Unit, with Off-street Parking Available, is Perfect for 1, 2, 3 or 4 People! Note: this is a no-smoking, no-vaping apartment. This is a modern and spacious (1008 square feet) first-rate, 2 bedroom apartment (it is the entire 2nd floor of a 3-floor Center City condo building) with a front balcony, a rear patio for get-togethers, gardening and barbecuing, a secure bike rack in the patio, and optional off-street parking in a securely gated parking lot. There is no surcharge if you have a cat or dog. Each bedroom can be set up with one king or queen bed, or with two twin or twin XL beds, and thus the apartment will accommodate up to 4 people. And if one of the bedrooms isn't needed for sleeping, then it can be set up as a office/study area. The Rental includes: heat and air conditioning via a central HVAC system that will keep you comfortable all year around; washer/dryer in the apartment; fully equipped modern kitchen with dishwasher and microwave oven; pre-wired for high-speed Wi-Fi and cable TV; the opportunity to rent ($350/mo) a parking spot in our gated off-street parking lot; gated patio/gardening/barbecue area, and bike rack. This incredible location at 12th and South is probably as safe as it gets in Center City: you can walk to all Center City restaurants, theaters and night spots; it's only a two-minute walk to Whole Foods, Acme, Chase Bank, PNC, and Citizens Bank; an easy walk (10-15 minutes) to Jefferson University and to Pennsylvania Hospital; it's a two-block / two-minute walk to the South Street subway station on the Broad Street SEPTA "B" line; it's only a 15-minute commute (via one bus) to University of Pennsylvania, or to Temple University (via one subway train ride); and just a one-block walk to an excellent dog park (gated) Robert, the Owner, lives right next door, and so if there's a problem, he is right there to help you, and to make sure that all maintenance issues are quickly resolved. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Tenant pays for electric service and water consumption; When signing a Lease, you will pay the first month's rent and provide one month's security; whether the last month’s rent, or a portion of it, will be due at signing, is open to negotiation; and finally, IF YOU REALLY LOVE THIS APARTMENT, AND IF YOU WILL NEED IT, FOR INSTANCE, FOR A MULTIPLE-YEAR COURSE OF STUDY AT ONE OR ANOTHER OF PHILADELPHIA'S UNIVERSITIES, THEN YOU WILL FIND THAT THE OWNER IS OPEN TO GIVING YOU A MULTIPLE-YEAR LEASE IN WHICH THE RENT NEVER INCREASES WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME.
