620 S 8th St Apartment

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 two-bedroom one bathroom apartment. This impressive unit has 12-foot-high ceilings and a private yard! The main focal point of this unit is the original hand-carved fireplace from the 1800’ that has been cleaned and restored. Additionally, this unit has been updated with wide-plank flooring and contemporary brushed gold and matte black fixtures. The modern kitchen includes a large L-shaped quartz marble veined countertop, all-wood cabinets, undercabinet lighting, elegant herringbone tiled backsplash, and reclaimed wood shelves built into exposed brick. The primary bedroom offers great storage and closet space along with a ceiling fan. Nearby you will find an additional closet and washer and dryer. The open concept of this unit offers a comfortable flow into the spacious living room. Off the living room you will find the second bedroom by opening double pocket doors. The second bedroom also has great closet space and if with the doors left open, can be made an extension of the living room. Finally, the bathroom was hotel inspired with an elegant vanity, bronze fixtures, and a spacious tub with tiled walls to the ceiling. Recessed lights throughout. 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 technology and 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.
