About 239 Race St Apt C
Sweet deal!
This listing is 18% below the median price for 3 bedroom apartments in Center City East.
Property Status: Active Unit C at 239 Race Street - Old City Living Done Right Welcome to Unit C at 239 Race Street, a standout 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence located inside the historic John Jordan Building in the heart of Philadelphia's Old City. This isn't cookie-cutter living. This is character, scale, and presence. Step inside and you immediately feel it-soaring ceilings, massive factory-style windows pouring in natural light, and wide-plank pine floors that actually have history behind them. The space hits that rare balance: raw industrial edge with polished, livable comfort. The layout gives you flexibility most rentals can't touch. Three true bedrooms, two full baths, and over 1,200 square feet means you can live, work, host, or all three without compromise. You're not sacrificing modern convenience either. There's central A/C, In-unit laundry and generous living space that doesn't feel boxed in. And then there's the location, because this is where most listings fall apart, and this one doesn't. You're planted in Old City with everything that actually matters steps away. Morning coffee, top-tier dining, waterfront walks. It's all right there. Walk to Race Street Pier, take in the history of Elfreth's Alley, or grab dinner at local staples like Race Street Cafe and Tuna Bar. Bottom line, you're getting space, character, and a location people compete for. If you're serious about living in Old City, not just saying you do, this is the one. Schedule your appointment today!
