Live Like “Real Housewives” at 2401 Pennsylvania Avenue


Imagine finishing work and then heading home to get work done.

Oh, come on, everyone's doing it. We're talking about Botox. 

What does "getting a little bit done" have to do with the Philadelphian at 2401 Pennsylvania Avenue?

Well, when our seller gave us the tour of this veritable fortress, we could not believe how many amenities are all located inside one enormous condo building. On a rainy day, you'd never have to leave. And if you wanted to sneak down to the spa for a quick lift or to nip those crow's feet, well, you could do so swiftly and privately at Max Aesthetics, located right inside the building.

Live like one of your favorite "Real Housewives" characters right here in Philadelphia. Only without the price tag or camera crew.

At Pennsylvania Ave you can live in a castle like a Queen or King (hey, we don't judge) and experience every bit of the luxury and convenience a "Real Housewives" character would demand.

Unit 16A12 is a studio with a 16th floor view of the Art Museum that would make the jaw drop on the snobbiest of Housewives. The affordable price combined with the building's on-site amenities will give you that rich and entitled air you so adore on the Real Housewives show.

After a long and exhausting day at the pool, you can send for your food, groceries, and dry cleaning and (get this) you can even pop into the med-spa for a quick Botox session before you go up to your studio suite and take in the majestic view from your private balcony, then ring concierge for your car or a cab and off to your favorite 5 star restaurant and a show in Center City. You have never looked and lived so good in your life until you have lived at 16A12 at 2401 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Then hop back on the elevator and catch up on those Housewives shows that you've missed. We won't tell a soul.

Fresh Address: The Philadelphian at 2401 Pennsylvania Avenue

It's the ultimate in all-inclusive getaways - Imagine a place where you can access your grocery store, bank, dry cleaner, gym, pool, library, spa, salon, diner, and pharmacy - without actually stepping outside. (Um, hello Winter 2011, you really made us all a bunch of shut-ins!).

This is Where it's At: And when you do decide to step outside - whether you're hopping into your car from the covered parking garage or hopping on the on-site bus service to head to Center City, or going for a jog along the Parkway - you'll be in one of the most breathtaking and historic areas of Philadelphia - the Art Museum.

What do you think? Do you have what it takes to be a Philadelphian?

Well, we have an amazing opportunity to live at one of the city's most impressive addresses. Stay tuned for our blog series on the Philadelphian, at 2401 Pennsylvania Avenue, our Fresh Address.

Discovering Francisville

While it's so easy to refer to homes around the Art Museum section of the city as "the Art Museum area", we wanted to clear something up.

We have not forgotten Francisville!

We simply use the Art Museum as a point of reference for people who are new to Philadelphia or may not be aware of the smaller, distinctive neighborhoods in the nooks and crannies of Philadelphia (there are oh so many!).

So what exactly defines Francisville, you ask?

One of our readers recently emailed us to  let us know of a listing that is actually in Francisville, which is known as "East of Fairmount, further east of the Art Museum area and north of Spring Garden".  Boundaries for the neighborhood are Fairmount Avenue to the south, Girard Avenue to the north, Broad Street to the east, and Corinthian Avenue to the west.

We regret the error and fixed our mistake - you can check out the updated listing in Francisville here. We also added a Francisville category to our neighborhood categories.

The Francisville website calls it "Historic. Off the Grid. Unique. Diverse. Walkable".  It is all of those things and more. The neighborhood could soon be known as a prime destination for green housing, with plans for a LEED-certified housing development in the works. It's close to some of the city's best restaurants and coffeeshops (Osteria, Mugshots) and is extremely close to local universities and Center City, and of course, Eastern State Penitentiary, the Art Museum, and the attractions of the Parkway.

For more information about Francisville, contact Penelope Giles, President of the Francisville Neighborhood Development Corporation.

If you have any breaking news or ideas for coverage of Francisville, please let us know! We'd love to add more Francisville content to our blog.
