Property Description

Welcome to the perfect blend of historic character and modern living in the heart of Northern Liberties-one of Philadelphia's most sought-after neighborhoods. This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome offers timeless charm paired with thoughtful updates throughout. Step inside to find gleaming hardwood floors that flow across the main level, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Just off the foyer, a comfortable living room welcomes you in and leads seamlessly into the dining area-perfectly positioned to overlook the gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring stainless steel appliances, upgraded countertops, and a stylish dry bar ideal for your morning coffee or evening unwind. Toward the rear of the home, you'll find a convenient powder room and direct access to a private, fenced-in backyard-perfect for hosting, relaxing, or letting pets roam freely. Upstairs on the second level, the spacious primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a sitting area, walk-in closet, and a private balcony overlooking the yard. The spa-like bathroom on this level features a double vanity, soaking tub, and a large walk-in shower. A generously sized second bedroom completes this floor. The third level offers even more flexibility with a private third bedroom, an additional full bathroom with a stand-up tub/shower, and the convenience of an upper-level laundry area. The partially finished basement provides valuable bonus space-ideal for a home gym, media room, or additional storage. All of this, plus a nicely sized fenced-in yard, in one of Philadelphia's most vibrant locations. Enjoy walkable access to local restaurants, coffee shops, entertainment, and the arts, along with easy access to public transportation-making commuting a breeze. If you're looking for character, space, and location all wrapped into one... this is the one that checks every box.
