Step into a residence tuned to a higher frequency. Elevated above the greenery of Rittenhouse Square, this 3,500+ sq. ft. masterpiece is an extension of a life in total alignment; a private sanctuary designed for pure sensory resonance. Reimagined by the award-winning duo Alfred Dragani and Concetta Martone of dMas Architects, this home was born from the meticulous combination of two units, earning an AIA Award of Merit for its architectural precision and emotional depth. Occupying the "sweet spot" of the 21st floor, the home sits at the perfect horizon line. Through thirty-six south and east-facing windows, the distinctive ziggurat architecture offers a rare perspective: high enough for total serenity, yet close enough to feel the heartbeat of the Square. Every inch of the interior is engineered to harmonize with the inhabitant. Hand-plastered walls and ceilings capture natural light, while Reglet trim details and custom millwork allow the walls to appear as if they are floating. Arrival is an immediate transition into light. The wide, sun-filled entry provides deep, concealed storage while introducing the home’s signature design language. To the side, a perfectly positioned powder room serves as a guest’s first encounter with the sanctuary’s materiality, featuring hand-selected stone and a floating vanity. Branching off the foyer is an expansive gallery that provides an effortless flow between the entertaining areas and private suites. This central artery serves as a sophisticated space for your art collection while naturally bridging the social and quiet quarters of the home. It is anchored at either end by breathtaking, floor-to-ceiling slabs of honed travertine and translucent quartzite, serving as literal bookends of natural art. The great room features Travertine marble and walnut built-ins, transitioning seamlessly into a professional Poggenpohl kitchen equipped with Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Bosch appliances, a 175-bottle wine refrigerator, and a custom backlit quartzite wall that adds a dramatic, rhythmic glow to evening gatherings. Integrated seating nooks and a private library provide the quiet clarity required for a life of purpose. The expansive primary suite is a study in equilibrium; a true "home within a home" featuring a cozy sitting room, dual walk-in California closets, and two full baths, one anchored by a deep soaking tub and a glass wall overlooking the park. Within this private wing, dual home offices are housed in a custom-built architectural pod, offering a secluded environment for deep work without ever leaving the sanctuary of the suite. Finishes include large-format Italian porcelain and sapless walnut hardwood floors, an integrated A/V system, and custom electric shades. The residence offers a flexible footprint with the rare capacity for a third bedroom. The expansive floor plan is engineered for evolution, easily accommodating a custom partition or a sophisticated moving wall system to create an additional private suite without compromising the home's open-concept resonance. Enjoy the effortless convenience of five-star white-glove living with discounted access to The Rittenhouse Hotel’s world-class amenities, including Lacroix, Scarpetta, The Library Bar, and the Mary Cassatt Tea Room with its tranquil outdoor space, alongside a full-service spa, fitness center, and indoor pool. Located steps from Philadelphia’s premier cultural attractions and just a half-block from the new Equinox Fitness Club, this is more than a residence; it is a rare synthesis of architectural craft and soulful sanctuary, calibrated to maximize the life you have built.
