    What's special

    This grand Victorian in Northern Liberties is simultaneously historic and modern, eclectic and simply stunning. The current owners have brought this home into the 21st century with great style. Enter through the foyer into a formal living room with soaring high ceilings. Continue further through a formal dining room, then to a huge eat-in kitchen featuring a central island and a six-burner Bertazzoni range. Access to the back patio and a half bath complete this floor.

Across the hall is a family room bathed in light with many unique architectural features. The third level has 3 more bedrooms and a full bath. The fourth level is currently used as a man cave/retreat, but could be another bedroom or a bright studio space. There is a full basement with a second laundry area and loads of storage. Prepaid parking for one car is included and conveniently located one block west. Come see this magnificent home in this vibrant neighborhood full of cafes, restaurants, and activities all in walking distance.
