10 Best Values Leading Up to 2010: #10

Here we are, only a little more than 7 hours away from 2010. Right now is probably one of the best times we will see in our lifetime to buy real estate. Low rates and low prices...a rare occurence. Having said that, here is my 10th top best value leading up to 2010:




The Lanesborough - 1601 Locust Street - Penthouse 1800
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own an entire floor penthouse in what is arguable the city's most exclusive residence (the floor plan above is one proposed plan for the space). The Lanesborough offers the ultimate in privacy and luxury. With 360 degree views, direct elevator access into the home, and a tremendous amount of private outdoor space, this is literally a manion in the sky. Penthouse 1800 is unfinished; a blank canvass for a buyer to come and create a completely custom home in the middle of Center City.

So where is the value? Penthouse 1800 is currently offered for $1,395,000. This home was originally offered for almost $2,000,000. This is a unique home in a very special building. Once this is sold, there will never be another opportunity like it in Center City.

Happy New Year!!
