1012 N 5th St
Description
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.
