C411 is also a convenient pied-a-terre, for anyone who needs to visit Philly frequently, and
best of all, C411 is a lovely home, and historically has been a solid investment.
C411 qualifies for conventional financing, but with bank interest still low, maybe pay cash. Monthly condo fees are less than comparable rent.
