1012 N 5TH STREET

$975,000 1012 N 5TH STREET, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19123
Welcome to 1015 N 5th Street -- where historic character meets elevated modern living. This breathtaking, fully renovated 5-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom townhouse sits in the heart of Northern Liberties, offering approximately 3,218 square feet of thoughtfully restored interiors that celebrate the home's original craftsmanship while delivering every modern comfort. Soaring ceilings, oversized east-facing windows, rich hardwood floors, and an abundance of natural light set the tone from the moment you arrive. A gracious entry vestibule welcomes you into a grand, sun-drenched living room -- expansive in scale, flexible in use, and stunning as a first impression. The space can easily accommodate both formal living and dining, offering the kind of optionality rarely found at this size. A sweeping curved staircase serves as the historic centerpiece, drawing you through to the chef's kitchen and breakfast room beyond. The kitchen is a true showpiece -- outfitted with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, and expansive countertops that balance form and function effortlessly. Open to the breakfast area (currently serving as the primary dining space), the room is anchored by a striking limited-edition Shinola pendant lighting set that elevates the entire space. A chic powder room and thoughtfully designed mudroom complete the main level.
Step outside to a professionally redesigned private oasis. Stretching approximately 34 feet deep and nearly 600 square feet, this extraordinary outdoor space was thoughtfully reimagined from the ground up -- and it shows. Elegant Carpinus betulus 'Frans Fontaine' columnar trees and Limelight hydrangeas add seasonal color and lush texture. A dedicated vegetable garden and curated rose garden speak to the level of intention behind every planting decision. Raised planters, a wood-burning fireplace, and generous entertaining areas complete the picture. Whether it's morning coffee, al fresco dinners, or a quiet evening by the fire, this garden is a true extension of the home. The entire second floor is devoted to rest and rejuvenation. The primary suite is exceptional in size -- a hall spa-inspired bathroom features a freestanding soaking tub and an oversized steam shower wrapped in penny tile with a built-in bench. A separate walk-in closet, practically bedroom-sized, adds a level of luxury rarely seen at this price point. A generous guest bedroom and a laundry room that redefines the standard -- with full-size front-loading machines, an oversized utility sink, extensive storage, and a built-in steamer column -- complete the floor. The third floor is as versatile as it is impressive. A spacious secondary family room -- or optional fifth bedroom -- comes complete with a wet bar, Bosch dishwasher, and dual refrigerator drawers, making it a natural fit for entertaining, hosting guests, or creating a private lounge. A beautifully appointed full hall bathroom with a striking exposed brick accent wall adds warmth and character to the floor. Two additional generously sized bedrooms round out the level, including a stunning front room with eastern exposure and soaring cathedral ceilings. A large, high-ceilinged unfinished basement offers a blank canvas ready for your vision -- whether that's a home gym, media room, playroom, wine cellar, or expanded storage. The home sits on a massive 18 x 110-foot lot -- an exceptional footprint for a Northern Liberties townhouse, offering both the outdoor depth and interior scale that define this property.
