139 W Laurel St
Description
Upstairs on the 2nd and 3rd levels, three bedrooms await with upgraded custom closets, plus two good-sized bathrooms. Head outside to the spacious courtyard, boasting a luxurious amount of backyard space with custom seating — the perfect spot for dining al fresco and entertaining. Further set back is direct access to the private garage with a 2nd floor bonus space that makes a great workshop and storage space, but also beckons a future studio apartment conversion. More space for storage and laundry is in the dry, semi-finished basement. Additional home highlights include two juliette balconies for extra light and sunset views, CENTRAL AIR, WALK-IN CLOSET, multiple fireplaces, skylight, and a beautiful flowering tree that awaits springtime blooms. Here you'll have easy proximity to grocery shopping and restaurants, numerous parks, coffee shops, and local boutiques. Liberty Lands, a 2-acre multi-use greenspace and community garden, awaits at the end of the street. Plus it’s an easy commute to Center City by car or bike, with plenty of convenient public transit options. Welcome Home!
