Come see this incredibly lovely home filled with charm, character and style, on one of the prettiest blocks in Northern Liberties. Step through the historic entrance of this c.1830 structure onto the original wide plank pine floors that run throughout the house. The foyer opens up to a lovely living room featuring the original fireplace flanked by the original candle cupboards built into the sides of the chimney breast. Two west facing windows fill the space with afternoon light. Beyond the living area is a comfortable eat-in kitchen highlighted by an exposed brick chimney breast with cast iron doors. The kitchen offers ample cabinet space, stainless steel appliances, and verde granite countertops. There is convenient additional shelving lining the landing to the basement stairs. The kitchen has an east facing window and a transomed half light door for lots of morning light. The door opens to a private patio for grilling, planting, and al fresco dining. Downstairs you will find a well maintained, dry and freshly painted basement with washer and dryer and plenty of room for storage and a work space. The stairs to the second floor open up to a lovely space that could be a formal dining room, a home office, or a second seating area. This lovely historic space is anchored by a fireplace, built-in cabinetry, and an exposed wood ceiling. Opposite, on the front of the house, is a spacious bedroom with a wall of closets and a fireplace with a brick hearth and a natural finish wood surround. Also on this floor is a full bath, tiled in neutral glazed ceramics, with a tub/shower combination, and a new vanity. Through a pair of panelledÂdoors you willÂfind stairs to the third floor where there are two rooms. One room is open to the stairway but could be walled off to make a 3rd bedroom, or kept open to create a two room suite, one for sleeping and the other for an office or seating area. Just a 5 minute walk from Liberty Lands Park, Orianna Hill Dog Park, Cafe La Maude, Honey's, and North 3rd, you will also be just a 15 minute walk from Frankford Avenue and all the amenities of Fishtown. For character, charm, amenities, and affordability, 945 N Lawrence has it all.
