5 Things You Don’t Know About Hawthorne Lofts at 1201 Fitzwater St

1. The Laundry Situation is a Major Perk: Most people see “common laundry” and run the other way. Don’t. At Hawthorne Lofts, the laundry is completely free. Better yet, the room is rarely crowded. You can actually knock out your entire week’s worth of washing by using three washers and three dryers simultaneously. It’s a massive time-saver that most buyers overlook until they move in.

   
   

2. The Best Roof Deck in Philadelphia: I’ll say it: Hawthorne Lofts has the largest roof deck area in the city. Hands down. If you want 360-degree views of the Philly skyline without feeling like you’re squeezed onto a tiny balcony, this is your spot. It’s a total game-changer for hosting or just catching a sunset.

   
   

3. The “Random” Parking Factor: A common misconception is that every unit at 1201 Fitzwater comes with a spot. In reality, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. Some condos have deeded parking, some don’t, and the distribution can feel a bit random if you aren’t familiar with the building’s history. If parking is a dealbreaker for you, we need to double-check the specific unit’s deed.

   
   

4. High-End Amenities, Low Fees: It’s rare to find a building that offers a solid gym, a massive deck, and well-maintained common spaces while keeping the monthly condo fees reasonable. Hawthorne Lofts manages to hit that “sweet spot” where you get the luxury lifestyle without the “luxury” price tag on your monthly dues.

   
   

5. A Developer with a Vision for the Corner: The developer, Tony Rufo, didn’t just stop at 1201 Fitzwater. He actually shaped this entire intersection. He was the force behind the condos on the other two corners as well:

   • 733 S. 12th St. (the NE corner)
   • 735-739 S. 12th, also known as Fitzwater Lofts (the SE corner)

There is a consistent aesthetic and quality to this pocket of the neighborhood because of that unified vision.
