A 4,500-square-foot Rittenhouse Square penthouse previously owned by former Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Pat Burrell has hit the market for $4.299 million.
Located inside the Lanesborough at 1601 Locust St., the bi-level unit has panoramic Center City views and features three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, two private terraces and direct elevator access from the lobby. Built in 1929 as a private men's club known as the University Club, the building was renovated in 2003 into 18 full-floor residences.
Burrell was the original owner of Penthouse 1, purchasing the unit in 2005 and working with a designer on customizing the space, said Kristen Foote, a broker with Compass RE who holds the current listing. Foote said Burrell was known for hosting parties in the space following the Phillies' 2008 World Series championship season.
"It's a grand entertaining space," said Foote, noting the unit has 23-foot-high ceilings and was previously the University Club's ballroom. Penthouse 1 spans the entire 17th floor with the master bedroom on the 18th. A glass staircase leads to the second floor.
