1012 N 5th St
Description
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 architectural 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 frame the space with architectural grace, while 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 — offering a rare sense of serenity and sophistication in the heart of the city. 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.
This home has been outfitted with an exceptional array of smart home and premium features designed for modern living at its finest. Dual-zone, high-velocity central air and radiant heat ensure year-round comfort throughout every level. Whole-home and backyard integrated WiFi delivers seamless connectivity from every room to every corner of the garden, while Google Home integration offers effortless smart home control at your fingertips. Integrated security cameras and a Ring Video Doorbell provide added peace of mind, and Signature Hardware smart toilets with integrated bidets — found in every bathroom — speak to the refined level of attention to detail found throughout the home.
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.
Ideally situated in the heart of Northern Liberties, 1015 N 5th places you moments from Liberty Lands Park, Little City Montessori, Cruz Playground, and The Piazza — plus the neighborhood's most celebrated dining and coffee destinations, including North Third, Standard Tap, Jerry's Bar, Café La Maude, Honey's Sit 'n Eat, One Shot Café, and Menagerie Coffee.
The sellers rent 2 parking spaces from PPA a stones through away. Inquire about potentially transferring.
A rare opportunity to own one of Northern Liberties' finest homes — refined, thoughtful, and move-in ready.
