This single-floor space showcases a thoughtfully designed living area anchored by an expansive floor-to-ceiling window wall that frames striking panoramic views of the cityscape and open horizon beyond. The generous glazing floods the interior with abundant natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout. The living room is arranged around a large, low-profile gray sectional sofa that defines the seating area, complemented by a sleek oval white coffee table. A vibrant yellow accent chair introduces a bold pop of color against the otherwise neutral palette of whites, grays, and light wood tones. A wall-mounted flat-screen television sits above a low, minimalist media console along one wall, while a floating black shelf unit adds subtle visual interest on the opposite side. The overall design ethos is decidedly minimalist, with clean lines, uncluttered surfaces, and a restrained color scheme that allows the dramatic exterior views to take center stage. Light-toned flooring and a soft area rug contribute to the cohesive, calm ambiance. The space feels open, well-proportioned, and refined, making it well-suited for both relaxed everyday living and stylish entertaining.

Wedged between the Schuylkill River and Drexel University and including part of the University of Pennsylvania, the 30th Street Station neighborhood borrows its name from its most prominent (and busiest) feature: the 30th Street SEPTA station.

Extremely walkable and featuring historic architecture and wide streets, 30th Street Station is ideal for those looking for an urban neighborhood near everything. The neighborhood features a variety of outdoor cafes, unique shops, and the picture-perfect Penn Park. Residents of 30th Street Station also enjoy easy access to Penn Museum, Franklin Field, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, World Café Live, and the Palestra.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
