Property Description
I know everyone thinks their home is special, but every once in a while, a home really does feel different. This recently renovated Northern Liberties rowhome is one of those rare finds, the kind of property that manages to feel both brand new and full of personality, polished but not sterile, thoughtfully designed but still warm and livable. Behind its classic Philadelphia brick exterior is a home that has been rebuilt from the inside out. Everything within the walls has been newly and carefully considered, creating the feeling of a brand new house without compromising charm. This was not a surface-level renovation. It was a complete top-to-bottom transformation, professionally designed with premium materials, elevated finishes, and a level of attention that is immediately apparent the moment you walk in. The main living spaces feel bright and easy to live in, with Coretec LVP flooring, top-of-the-line Pella windows, and spray foam insulation throughout, bringing both style and real function to the home. The renovation was designed not just to look beautiful, but to live beautifully, with new HVAC, upgraded electrical service, all new ducting, and the kind of behind-the-walls improvements that make a home feel comfortable, efficient, and solid for years to come. The kitchen brings together clean modern design and playful, memorable detail. Bosch appliances provide the performance and reliability serious home cooks appreciate, while custom colorful ZIA tile adds a layer of character that keeps the space from feeling like every other renovated kitchen on the market. It is polished, practical, and genuinely pretty, a kitchen that feels as ready for a quiet weeknight dinner as it does for friends gathered around on a Saturday night. What makes this home especially rare is the layout. With four proper bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a true primary suite with its own en suite bathroom, the home offers a level of flexibility that is hard to find at this size and price point. Whether you need bedrooms, guest space, a home office, a nursery, or room to grow, this layout gives you options. Out back, a large fenced yard adds another layer of everyday livability. It is the kind of outdoor space that changes how you use a home, perfect for summer dinners, raised planters, a dog, kids, morning coffee, or simply having a private place to breathe in the middle of the city. In a neighborhood where outdoor space is always appreciated and rarely taken for granted, this yard is a meaningful bonus. Downstairs, the full basement offers real utility, with full size side-by-side laundry and plenty of space for storage - especially for the practical pieces of city living that never quite fit anywhere else. And then there is the location. Set in the absolute heart of Northern Liberties, one of Philadelphia's most established and consistently desirable neighborhoods, the home sits within easy reach of the places that make this area so beloved. Bardot Cafe is on your block and you're only a short stroll from the freshly renovated Liberty Lands Playground and the hidden gem Orkey Park. Your go to's will quickly become Cafe La Maude and Menagerie Coffee all within a 5 minute walk...so many everyday conveniences are all close by. It is a neighborhood with energy, community, and a strong track record of appreciation, yet it still offers the kind of residential pockets that make it feel easy to settle in and stay awhile. For added convenience, at least 1 year off-street PARKING is in the adjoining driveway is included in the purchase price. Please inquire for details and don't forget to apply for the homestead exemption (if applicable as an owner occupant) to lower your annual taxes! This is not just a renovated home. It is a carefully rebuilt space with warmth, function, and personality - ready to create memories in. It is the kind of home that feels considered from every angle, and that is exactly what makes it so special.
