Experience the perfect balance of historic charm and modern luxury in this stunning Northern Liberties townhouse. From the moment you step through the stylish vestibule with double doors and bold wallpaper, you’ll feel the home’s unique character.

The sunlit living room features soaring ceilings, oversized windows, original wood floors with intricate inlays, exposed brick walls, and custom built-ins. An open dining area flows seamlessly into the chef-inspired kitchen, designed with sleek quartzite countertops, a breakfast bar, premium stainless steel appliances, and heated tile floors. A dedicated bar area adds sophistication, while an adjacent bonus room with a powder room provides flexible space for work or relaxation.

Through sliding glass doors, enjoy a private outdoor oasis—a brick-paved patio overlooking a landscaped lawn, perfect for entertaining or unwinding in the heart of the city.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers a serene retreat with bay windows, a cozy sitting area, and a private covered balcony. The spa-like bathroom boasts a double marble vanity, heated marble floors, a glass-enclosed shower, and a luxurious soaking tub, complemented by a spacious walk-in closet.

A light-filled guest room with an original built-in vanity shares this level, while the third floor hosts a generous bedroom and an oversized bath featuring a clawfoot tub, double marble-top vanity, and full-size washer and dryer.

Additional highlights include a semi-finished basement and a large storage room. This remarkable home blends timeless details with contemporary elegance—an exceptional opportunity in the heart of Northern Liberties.
