Welcome to 1012 N 5th street in Northern Liberties. This classic Philadelphia, three story, brick townhouse has been fully renovated in a manner which honors its history.
Enter the front door into a classically designed vestibule with a transam window and floor to ceiling wood trim detail. Through yet another secure door sits the grand living room. Relax with company in front of the gas fireplace and admire the abundance of original trim and the elegant chandelier overhead. Much like every other room in the house, large windows provide ample natural light.
Through the first floor hallway you will find a well designed kitchen with LG smart appliances, top of the line cabinetry, a black quartz counter top and a sit-in island. Large windows also provide this room with natural lighting, particularly highlighting the grey and white ceramic tile on the walls. In the evening, residents have plenty of lighting for cooking and entertaining with recessed lighting and custom pendants in the ceiling, as well as built in under cabinet and in cabinet lighting.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining room, followed by a large walk in cupboard and a well secluded powder room.
In the rear of the home is a superb stone patio. Either side of the yard is kept private with a newly installed cedar fence and an original brick wall which graces the back of the patio. This space is perfect for entertaining or relaxing on a beautiful summer evening.
Follow the original staircase in the first floor hallway to the second floor. The homes primary bedroom sits on the right with a full room converted into a walk-in closet next door. The primary bathroom sits down the hall and features a large free standing bathtub, an outstanding walk in shower and a gorgeous vanity. The shower, tiled from floor to ceiling, has standard and rainfall showerheads, as well as a bench built for two.
Shelving on the right of the shower provides storage for towels and toiletries.
Next to the bathroom is the homes spacious laundry room with top of the line appliances, a large sink and plenty of cabinet and counter space.
At the other end of the second floor hallway is an additional bedroom, also providing residents with natural light and abundant closet space.
In between the second and third floors sits a massive room with an ensuite bathroom and kitchenette. The room is currently used for entertaining but would also suffice as an inlaw or guest room. Windows line one side and the kitchenette is nestled in the corner. In addition to cabinetry and open shelving, there is a sink, dishwasher, pull out refrigerator and freezer. Main features of the bathroom include the painted, exposed brick wall and the marble tiled shower/tub with a sliding glass door.
