Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from August 31, 2023
This Northern Liberties townhome has been newly renovated with loads of special details. It has four spacious bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The home sits on a large lot (19’ x 75”) and has almost 4,000 square feet of livable space plus three outdoor spaces including an 18’ x 20’ tiled patio. The façade has been updated with new windows, roof, main door and easement gate. The shared living and dining room is very large and boasts hardwood floors, crown molding, a floor to ceiling fireplace, brushed gold light fixtures and decorative woodwork from a 100-year-old New York property. The gourmet kitchen features hardwood floors, white-washed brick walls with wooden accents, a center island with additional workspace, extra storage, a serving or breakfast bar and two custom pendants. There are stainless steel appliances and custom cabinets throughout, including double panty closets. The gas range has a custom vent hood and a pot-filler. The stainless-steel farmhouse sink sits under a picture window facing the beautiful patio. The breakfast nook currently accommodates a 4-6 seat table. The door to the patio includes a pet door and the side alley provides ample space for storage and a trash area, with direct access to the front sidewalk through a private security door. The 18’ x 20’ rear patio has multi-colored octagonal tiles, a privacy fence, drainage system and a gas line for a fire pit. The newly expanded Orkney Park sits directly behind this home and provides wonderful trees and landscaped views from the three outdoor spaces of this home. The home has hardwood flooring throughout and a full home water filtration system. The second floor has three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room and ample closet space. The rear bedroom has an en-suite bath, a large closet and a French door to a Juliette balcony overlooking the patio and park. The middle bedroom can also be used as a home office or gym. The large front bedroom has great natural light, generous closet space and could be used as either a guest bedroom or second master suite. The hall bath has a tub with a frameless glass barn door, furniture style vanity and mosaic-tile accent wall. There is a separate laundry closet with a sliding glass barn door. The entire third floor is an owner suite with a separate lounge and a private balcony. Antique wooden doors separate the lounge from the bedroom and bathroom. The spa-like bath includes double vanity sinks with a marble countertop, designer sconces and a newly remodeled frameless shower with marble, ceramic tile and a Schluter waterproofing system. There is a free-standing soaking tub, a room water drainage system and both linen and shoe closets. The lower level was used as a home theater with a half bath, lifetime guaranteed waterproofing system and three large storage closets. The home has two zones for heat and air conditioning. The owners augmented the house HVAC with split systems on the first and third floors. The home has 7-8 years left of the city tax abatement and we are awaiting confirmation on the correct annual tax. The owners rent a parking space from a neighbor who has agreed to extend the arrangement to the buyer. It is currently rented for $200 per month and is in an open lot around the corner on Brown Street. This wonderful neighborhood has many attractions. There is a playground behind the house, a dog park 3 blocks away and many grocery, gym and day care options nearby. The neighborhood is loaded with restaurants and the Second Street restaurant, entertainment and shopping corridor is just 3 blocks away.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love my school. It's extremely supportive and our principle is the best in Philadelphia. He has really turned our school around. Compared to our surrounding schools, I believe our school stands out. We have excellent programs that keeps student busy and off the streets. Our test scores are truly rising. Our teachers really care about our education. They put their all into them lesson plans. Most people would look at our school and see it for what it use to be not what it's become. In my opinion, my school is the best. It's extremely diverse in several ways. Come visit us :)!!!!Student Review13y ago
