220 LOCUST ST #2GS Philadelphia, PA 19106

There's a rare kind of calm here — the feeling of living above the city's energy, yet wrapped in light, greenery, and architectural grace.
Set within the iconic Society Hill Towers, this sun-filled corner residence is a refined expression of mid-century modern living, designed by I.M. Pei and surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds that feel more like a private garden than a Center City address.
Inside Unit 2G, floor-to-ceiling windows draw in southwestern light, framing treetop views, historic rooftops, and soft skyline moments that shift beautifully throughout the day. Sunlight glides across the original oak parquet floors, creating a warm, layered atmosphere — so bright and consistent that your houseplants will thrive (there's enough light to grow a grapefruit tree!) The open living and dining areas offer a natural flow — ideal for quiet mornings, relaxed evenings, or gathering friends as the city lights begin to glow.
The renovated kitchen pairs streamlined cabinetry with quartz countertops, gas cooking, stainless appliances, and a distinctive tile backsplash — a clean, modern complement to the home's classic bones. The full bathroom, accessible from both the hallway and bedroom, has been thoughtfully updated with warm finishes and a minimalist aesthetic. The bedroom retreat is serene and light-filled, with space for rest, reading, or a tucked-away work-from-home nook.
Life at Society Hill Towers feels quietly elevated. Residents enjoy 5 acres of lush, landscaped grounds, a calming fountain, shaded walking paths, and a true sense of retreat, along with 24-hour concierge service, secure package handling, and a fully equipped laundry room. All utilities are included in the monthly condo fee, adding ease, predictability, and everyday convenience.
Optional amenities — offered at very reasonable fees — include a large, secluded outdoor heated, in-ground saltwater swimming pool (open mid-May through September) with lounge chairs, cooking grills, locker rooms, and sun-filled seating areas, located just outside the South Tower and easily accessible from this building. Additional fee-based offerings include a fitness center, underground garage parking, bike storage, EV charging, private storage, a community room, and resident hospitality suites for hosting out-of-town guests.
Everyday convenience is enhanced by the on-site shopping plaza, home to Zahav — recipient of the 2019 James Beard Award for “Outstanding Restaurant” (the first Israeli-American restaurant to earn this national honor) — along with Sue's Produce Market & Deli and Bell's Cleaners, which conveniently delivers directly to the concierge.
Step beyond the grounds to Head House Square, where the year-round Sunday Farmers Market brings fresh food, local vendors, and neighborhood charm to your doorstep. Waterfront walks, boutique shopping, acclaimed restaurants, theatres, and the historic streets of Society Hill and Old City are all just moments away.
Commuter convenience completes the picture, with approximately 20 minutes to Philadelphia International Airport via I-95, 90 minutes to New York, and 60 minutes to the Eastern Shore.
This is more than a condo — it's golden-hour light, mid-century heritage, garden serenity, and effortless city living at one of Philadelphia's most iconic addresses.
