About This Home

As of December 2016

Just reduced! Charming house on exceptionally quaint Northern Liberties block. This is an unbeatable combination for buyers who are tired of looking at the same old builder grade homes. Enter the 16 ft. wide living room and notice the custom window shutters on the 6 over 6 window sashes. The original red pine floors have been beautifully cared for and the walls are freshly painted. Behind the archway is a full dining room and kitchen behind that. Off of the kitchen enjoy the brick-walled private patio.The second floor has a good sized bedroom and another room which could functions as a den, a nursery or could be a converted to large walk-in closet for those of you with a big wardrobe. The third floor is one expansive open space with room for any sized bed, a whole sitting are for TV viewing and sliding doors to a roof deck. The exterior of the home has an alley that goes from the street to back yard. The custom cedar shutters add to the exterior charm. Walk to El at 2nd and Spring Garden in minutes and all of the restaurants and shops of Northern Liberties.
