257 Apartments

257 is a landmark destination that offers a unique style of living - the best of both worlds; a rich blend of traditional architecture with the latest contemporary features. 257 was erected in 1917 and originally constructed as the grand Sprucemont Hotel. After a restoration in 2010, 257 has become an urban retreat, where classic meets contemporary. Pre-war opulence and modern style merge in apartments filled with such sought after architectural features as high ceilings and oversized windows. A meticulous attention to detail lends form to function, as each apartment boasts oak flooring, elegant baths, modern kitchens with granite countertops, European-styled cabinetry, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, individual climate control and cable-ready wiring for high speed Internet access.
Make yourself at home in Center City Philadelphia's most desirable and charming neighborhood. 257 is located on the corner of 16th and Spruce Streets, situated in the quintessential vibrant downtown setting, Rittenhouse Square. This unique neighborhood is a walker's paradise with tree-lined streets and offers the finest local shopping, restaurants, and cafes, just steps away from your front door. Enjoy the convenience of having the PATCO train station a half block away, a SEPTA subway stop 2 blocks away, and the free University of Pennsylvania Shuttle Stop a short walk down the street, or conveniently park your car in your choice of several nearby garages around the block.
