Rare gem of a Victorian townhome in the wonderful Northern Liberties neighborhood. About the house: Overflowing with restored period details, along with numerous upgrades for modern living. Dramatic architectural turret windows and original period details throughout, including crown molding, inlaid hardwood floors, stained glass, highly detailed tile work, high ceilings, and anaglypta wall coverings in all hallways and staircases. Enter through a tiled vestibule with an original mosaic floor and a stained glass transom. From the foyer, enter the parlor through pocket doors, and find a carved wood mantle with unique green tile work, crystal chandelier, original leaded glass windows, and a large front window overlooking the street. Access the large dining room via stained glass French doors. The wall of ivy that runs along the entire side of the house provides a feeling of tranquility and an extra buffer from the street. The enormous kitchen has radiant heated terra cotta tile floor, polished granite counters, wood cabinets, stainless refrigerator and dishwasher, a brand new gas range with range hood, a breakfast bar, and plenty of room for a breakfast nook. From the kitchen, access a brick paved side yard that runs the full length of the house, perfect for gardening, entertaining, and outdoor grilling. A beautiful cherry tree arches over the patio area. Climb to the 2nd floor via either the main staircase or the back stairs from the dining room. This floor features three rooms and/or office spaces and a full bathroom, while the 3rd floor contains the enormous master suite and second full bathroom. Each room on the 2nd and 3rd floors has its own personality, including stained glass, large turret and bump out windows, curved original trim work and mantles, solid wood built-in wardrobes, and unique architectural features. The 3rd floor hallway leads to roof access. There is radiator heat throughout with gorgeous decorative iron radiators, dual-zoned central air, ecobee smart thermostats, and a full basement with laundry area (LG washer and dryer) and storage space.
