If you want an apartment with “wow” factor, consider Joel Embiid’s fabulous Philadelphia condo. On the market for $5.5 million, the two-bedroom, two-bath penthouse offers more than 3,500 square feet spread over two floors.
The place is situated in one of the city’s most sought-after boutique condominium buildings, known for its upscale apartments that span entire floors. According to property records, the apartment last changed hands in 2018 when it sold for $3.2 million.
Nothing but net
In this top-floor unit, the elevator opens to the residence’s grand double doors, which lead into the space’s striking, open-concept layout.
There’s an eye-catching kitchen area with sleek, white cabinets; polished Calacatta floor tiles; and a waterfall-style center island. There’s also a perfect spot for a dining table and chairs.
The light-filled living room has floor-to-ceiling windows and recessed lighting, which can be adjusted (along with the sound system) via a Savant smart home hub.
Buzzer beater
Each bedroom offers impressive city views and en suite bathrooms decked out with glamorous, mirrored vanities; gold accents; and marble and Silestone finishes. One bedroom even has its own outdoor space.
Float up the Compac quartz stairs, offset by a marble feature wall, to access a private, 1,000-square-foot, rooftop deck. At the deck, there’s a pool, hot tub, and outdoor kitchen.
Building amenities include a virtual doorman and electronic, coded-access elevators. The monthly HOA fee is $3,828.
Embiid, 29, was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in 2014. He’s a six-time NBA All-Star and was named the league’s Most Valuable Player for the 2023 season.
