Property Description
Welcome to Historic Garden Court, a community unlike any other in University City's Cedar Park neighborhood. Nestled in a park-like setting with koi ponds, fountains, and lush perennial gardens, this secure gated building offers the rare combination of architectural charm, modern convenience, and resort-style amenities—all just minutes from Penn, CHOP, and Center City.
This nearly 800 sq. ft. one-bedroom residence greets you with a spacious foyer and coat closet, setting the tone for a home that is both elegant and practical. A galley kitchen with updated cabinetry and granite countertops opens to a dedicated dining room, perfect for dinner parties or quiet meals at home. The living room is bathed in sunlight from oversized windows—eleven in total throughout the unit—that frame leafy views and fill every corner with warmth.
The large bedroom is a true retreat with its ensuite bath featuring an elongated soaking tub and shower. Original oak floors and built-in details reflect the craftsmanship of the 1920s, seamlessly blending history with comfort. Modern upgrades, including an in-unit washer/dryer and abundant closet space, ensure everyday ease.
Life at Garden Court extends well beyond your front door. The community's indoor swimming pool, fully equipped fitness center, library, and game room (with ping-pong and billiards) provide year-round recreation. Common balconies on every floor offer a quiet spot for fresh air, while bike storage makes commuting and exploring the city simple.
The condo association takes care of nearly everything—heat, water, trash, sewer, snow removal, insurance, building and grounds maintenance, even pool access—so you can spend more time enjoying your home and less time worrying about upkeep.
Step outside and discover why Cedar Park is one of Philadelphia's most beloved neighborhoods. With a Walk Score of 94 and a Bike Score of 99, daily errands, dining, and nightlife are just steps away. Stroll to local cafes, farmers markets, and Clark Park, or hop on a quick train, trolley, or bike ride to Penn, Drexel, CHOP, or Center City.
At Garden Court, you're not just buying a home—you're joining a vibrant community with a rich history, surrounded by greenery and convenience. This is city living with a neighborhood soul.
