Introducing the Laird, upscale living with historic beginnings. The Laird is a boutique 16 unit apartment building in a historical property that has been carefully and completely renovated inside and out. These renovations include all the modern conveniences expected in a contemporary apartment home while maintaining original details and character that can’t be found in new construction towers. No two units are the same. Each unit has been thoughtfully designed. A one-bedroom one bathroom apartment. The main focal point of this beautiful, light-filled unit is the original living room fireplace from the 1800’s that has been cleaned and restored. The unit also has been updated with wide-plank flooring and contemporary brushed gold and matte black fixtures. The L-shaped modern kitchen includes a quartz marble veined countertop, all-wood cabinets, undercabinet lighting, elegant herringbone tiled backsplash, and reclaimed wood shelves, also original to the building. The bedroom offers a large closet, ceiling fan and an ensuite bathroom with washer and dryer. The bathroom was hotel inspired with an elegant vanity, bronze fixtures, and a spacious shower with contemporary frameless glass doors. Recessed lights throughout. Situated in the center of Philadelphia’s vibrant Bella Vista neighborhood, The Laird is walking distance to area hospitals, universities, and the central business district. Just steps from Whole Foods, two city parks, multiple coffee shops and several popular bar/restaurants like Grace & Proper, The Good King and more! The Laird’s location offers convenient access to the best of the city with the intimacy of a low-rise residential neighborhood. The Laird offers our residents the technology and security they deserve. The Butterfly® tenant concierge & security system provides keyless access to admit guests and allows for deliveries to be received from a smart phone anywhere in the world. True to its vision of preserving the past, The Laird ‘s foyer enjoys 12-foot-high ceilings with the original tin covering from 1887; refurbished for today. In addition, elegant flooring, lighting and restored historic details throughout the common areas. Residents of The Laird have access to an exercise room equipped with a Peloton® and other exercise equipment; and a common roof deck with spectacular, unobstructed views of the city, Delaware River bridges and the stadiums, perfect for entertaining and viewing firework displays! Finally, the Laird is within the William Meredith catchment which is rated by US News & World Report as the #1 elementary school in Philadelphia. We look forward to giving you a personalized tour of this special building!

Neighborhood

Bella Vista, which in Italian means “beautiful sight,” gets its name from the picturesque Philly skyline that can easily be seen from the community. Southwark is commonly referred to as Queen Village.

Together, the Bella Vista-Southwark community lies two miles southeast of Downtown Philadelphia, and encompasses many blocks between two of its liveliest commercial roads: South Street and Washington Avenue.

Old-world Italian influences play a major role in the charm of the community, and remains one of the main attractions to the area. Visitors and residents alike look forward to spending a couple of hours at the 9th Street Italian Market, where rich aromas of strong espresso, fresh seafood, and homemade pastas fill the room. Every year, a festival in honor of the market is held and features family-friendly entertainment and of course, delicious foods and treats!

In addition to housing one of the original open-air markets in the U.S.
