The Hopkinson House: An Insider's Perspective
The Hopkinson House is more than just a high-rise in Center City; it’s a well-kept secret among those in the know. While its prime location and striking architecture are undeniable, there are certain nuances that set it apart.
For instance, the condo fees cover all utilities plus basic cable, and a robust maintenance plan that includes recent comprehensive window and sliding door replacements, ensuring the building's longevity and resident comfort.
Another interesting aspect is the unit distribution. All corner units are generously sized two or three-bedroom layouts, offering optimal space and natural light. Additionally, the building's rental cap at 45% helps maintain property values by preventing an overabundance of rentals, which can sometimes impact the overall desirability of a building.
Beyond the numbers, the Hopkinson House boasts a unique ambiance. The building’s orientation ensures every unit enjoys either a serene park view or the vibrant city skyline, without impacting property values. This, coupled with the unexpected tranquility of the rear garden, creates a surprising oasis in the heart of the city.
The recent testimonial from a long-time resident, Kathleen, perfectly encapsulates the Hopkinson House experience. Its ideal location, coupled with top-notch amenities and a strong sense of community, make it a truly exceptional place to call home.
What Most Don’t Know About The Hopkinson House:
-Condo Fees are approximately $0.63 per square foot per month
-All corner units are 2 or 3 bedroom units
-No more than 45% of the units can be used as rentals (this helps to keep the other units in the association mortgage-able)
Five Fast Facts about The Hopkinson House:
1) All units have either a northern (park view) or southern expose- and neither attribute affects priced (in my opinion)
2) Corner units are the two bedroom units
3) Roof top swimming pool and rental garage parking occupy the roof and the basement
4) All windows and sliding glass doors in entire building recently replaced by the association
5) Has a gracious, if ever used, rear garden behind lobby…almost zen-like
What a condo owner at The Hopkinson House says about the building:
Kathleen says, “I love having beautiful Washington Square as my front yard. I love living on the border between the bustle of downtown and the charm of Society Hill, with its historic row houses and cobblestone streets. I love the views from the rooftop, especially at sunset. And I love the friendliness and helpfulness of the doormen and desk staff.”
