    What's special

    Welcome to 903 N 5th St. in the thriving Northern Liberties neighborhood. This updated 3-bedroom/2.5-bathroom rowhome offers abundant space, a super-convenient location, private parking and a whole lot of charm! Step into the sun-bathed living room and appreciate the feel of this 17’ wide home with great ceiling height. There’s plenty of space here for full-sized furniture, so you can invite the whole crew over for games and holiday celebrations. In the cooler seasons, a gas fireplace sets a nice glow on the gleaming hardwood floors and a warm atmosphere for your guests. Through the hallway are the sizable dining room and a handy powder room, along with the laundry closet accommodating full-size washer and dryer. The large, square kitchen sports stainless steel appliances and traditional wood cabinetry, with granite countertops and tumbled stone backsplash. It’s a roomy space for cooking with friends, complete with that pantry you’ve always wanted plus room for a breakfast table or prep counter. Wrapping up the first level, a cozy patio for your flower pots and your private, gated parking space are right outside. Resume your tour up the wide staircase, a great space to highlight favorite artwork. Two spacious bedrooms await on the second floor, both with abundant closet space, and two modern tiled bathrooms with tubs keep wait times to a minimum! On the top floor a large flex space for your evolving needs – bedroom, den, office, playroom or creative space and again, plenty of storage. From this level, access your wonderful roof deck for a breath of fresh air and some quiet time with your cuppa as the city awakens. The home offers some cozy nooks that are perfect for an over-stuffed chair and a good book. The clean, unfinished basement will store your seasonal stuffs and can accommodate a workbench or craft space. Brilliant natural light throughout, with central air conditioning and forced air heating for comfort in every season. The bustling, historic NoLibs neighborhood provides every convenience for your active lifestyle. Hang out with Fido at Liberty Lands Park, weekend brunch at Café la Maude; stroll over to 2nd Street for groceries, diverse dining options and useful professional services. Nearby public transit and access to everywhere via major highways, and when you arrive home, your parking space will always be waiting! Call today to schedule your private showing of this charming, well-maintained property. And welcome home!
