979 N 5th St Philadelphia, PA 19123

Welcome to 979 North 5th Street, a particularly well maintained and lovely 4-bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2700 + square foot home in one of Philadelphia’s most sought after neighborhoods. Built in the 1800’s, 979 North 5th Street provides exquisite attention to detail and beauty, which has been impeccably well taken care of and maintained over the years. The curb appeal abounds from this tremendous 4 story 18-foot-wide home, offering beautiful brickwork, as well as a recently painted cornice. As you enter this fabulous home, the 1st floor features a traditional foyer with a beautiful stained glass transom window above the striking solid wood front door with large glass allowing loads of natural light flowing through the foyer area. Just beyond the foyer is a very generously sized living room, followed by a delightful sitting/family room with wonderful French doors leading into the dining room and kitchen area. The kitchen area has a wall of large windows great for birdwatching in the rear yard, as well as another door to the exterior. Large newer windows throughout the home afford copious amounts of natural light to flood this splendid home, top to bottom. The hallways and vestibules are adorned with Lincrusta, a wallcovering commonly found in in Victorian and Royal homes throughout the world, as well as aboard the Titanic in six of her staterooms. Beyond that, there are stunning inlaid hardwood floors in nearly perfect condition running throughout the home, as well as some beautiful crown molding. As you move upstairs to the upper levels, the home offers a multitude of bedrooms, bathrooms, closets and so much more. The 2nd floor main bathroom affords some of the most beautiful stained glass and tile work, as well as a picturesque claw foot bathtub. The 3rd floor of the home offers an additional smaller kitchen, complete with a smaller gas stove/oven and a kitchen sink, too. Moving upstairs to the top floor of the home, it’s perfect for a work from home space, a playroom, a possible home theatre, or conceivably another bedroom. And if the 2716 ft of above ground living space isn’t enough, there’s an entire full basement, too. All mechanicals are in the lower-level basement, including a new water heater in 2020 and a gas furnace that’s only about 10 years old, as well as a laundry sink. With the additional large amount of space in the basement, the options are endless; great for an at home workshop, craft shop, as well as offering the potential to be finished for additional living space. Rooves all well maintained over the years, with the middle portion and kitchen most recently receiving a new coat in 2021. Perfectly positioned, this home is near some of Philly’s best restaurants, parks, boutiques, cafes, bars, breweries, entertainment and so much more. Additionally, easy access to Interstate highways and numerous phenomenal public transportation options. Schedule your appointment today.
