Property Description

Set on one of the prettiest streets in Philadelphia, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 1,900 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and as a corner property, it brings in an abundance of natural light throughout. Step inside through the charming tiled vestibule, an original detail that sets the tone before you even reach the front door. The first floor unfolds with warmth and character, anchored by a fireplace that serves as the true heart of the home the kind of feature that turns an ordinary evening into something worth slowing down for. The home has been completely updated throughout and is truly move-in ready. And at 18ft wide, youll feel the space from the moment you walk in. Out back, an 18-foot-deep patio offers plenty of room for entertaining or simply enjoying the outdoors, while a third-floor deck adds yet another layer of outdoor living perfect for evening drinks or catching the sunset over the neighborhood. The third floor itself is a true retreat, complete with its own private bedroom and full bathroom ideal as a primary suite, guest space, or home office with room to spread out. Beyond the front door, this stretch of N Lawrence is known for something you can't renovate your way into: real community. This is a tight-knit block where neighbors actually know each other, and it shows the block comes together three times a year for block parties, with Halloween alone drawing more than 300 people for one of the neighborhood's biggest annual traditions. Just steps away, Orkney Park offers a playground, basketball court, and even a bird sanctuary, while Orianna Dog Park and Liberty Lands round out some of the best green space Northern Liberties has to offer. This is a home that combines thoughtful updates, real character, and a genuine sense of community all on one of Philadelphia's most beloved blocks.
