Historic Character and Spacious Center City Condos
Located at the northwest corner of 13th and Spruce Streets, The Lenox Condominiums is a historic pre-war building converted to condominiums in 2004. The building offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans in the heart of Philadelphia’s Washington Square West neighborhood.
What makes The Lenox distinctive is its original architectural character. Many residences feature herringbone oak floors, decorative fireplaces, solid wood doors, generous ceiling heights, and bay windows overlooking 13th and Spruce Streets.
The floor plans are often larger and more interesting than those found in newer condominium buildings, with generous room sizes, abundant closet space, and layouts that reflect the building’s original architecture.

Initially, central air conditioning and in-unit laundry were not standard features at The Lenox. Owners are permitted to install mini-split air-conditioning systems and in-unit washers and dryers, subject to association approval and building requirements. Some individual unit owners have already have added these features.
Recent Capital Improvements and Elevator Assessment
The Lenox condominium association has undertaken building improvements and has approved a major elevator replacement project. In December 2025, the association announced a special assessment to replace the building’s three elevators. Buyers should confirm the assessment amount applicable to the specific residence, the outstanding balance, and the status of the elevator project. Responsibility for unpaid assessment installments can be negotiated between buyer and seller as part of the purchase agreement.

Two Cents
We’ve sold about a half dozen or so condos at The Lenox over the years, and what consistently impresses me is the amount of living space buyers can get for their money. The original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, bay windows, and often rambling floor plans give these residences a character that’s difficult to reproduce in newer construction. I’ve also watched the surrounding 13th Street corridor evolve into one of Center City’s most active restaurant and entertainment destinations. I believe The Lenox deserves consideration from buyers who prioritize space, architectural character, and location over newer construction and extensive amenities. Strategically speaking, I have made mention of the fact that I think The Lenox would make a fantastic LONG TERM hold. I think values here are some of the best in town. The condo association has been doing some great work to the building and has put a lot of money into making sure values remain strong.
