About This Home
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.

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.
