About This Home

This 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom townhouse at 1012 N 5TH in PHILADELPHIA, PA is listed for $995,000 ($309 per sqft). Built in 1920, the home offers 3,218 sqft of living space on a 0.04 acres lot.

Agent Description

Set in the sought after neighborhood of Northern Liberties, this Victorian blends historic character with a thoughtful, modern renovation. The entry vestibule sets the tone right away-original wood detailing, a transom window, and a sense that the home's history has been carefully preserved, not replaced.

Inside, the main living space feels both open and grounded. Oversized windows bring in natural light, while a fireplace and statement chandelier anchor the room, creating an easy rhythm for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is designed to be lived in.

LG smart appliances, a six-burner double oven, pot filler, and black quartz countertops pair with abundant cabinetry and a large island with seating. Just beyond, a light-filled dining area and convenient pantry add both function and flow. A powder room is tucked discreetly nearby.

Out back, a private yard extends the living space outdoors, with stone pavers, a cedar privacy fence, and a custom self-watering planter system. A reclaimed firepit creates a natural gathering point. The second level is centered around the primary suite.

The bedroom is spacious and calm, with a dedicated, detached walk-in closet room and a spa-like bath featuring a soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower with dual shower heads, and refined finishes throughout. This floor also includes a second bedroom and a fully outfitted laundry room with LG appliances, a utility sink, built-in clothing steamer, and generous storage.

A half level up, a flexible bonus space functions as its own private suite, complete with a full bath and kitchenette-ideal for guests, extended family, or a separate entertaining / living area. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms, each with great light and closet space, along with extra hallway storage.

Downstairs, a large basement with high ceilings provides excellent storage and future potential. Additional details include keyless entry, dual-zone climate control with digital thermostats, and upgraded bathroom features like heated seats and bidets on all toilets.

The seller currently holds two parking licenses for the PPA-owned lot at 982 N 6th Street (Inquire for details). Located in the heart of Northern Liberties, you're just a short walk to the award winning Little City Montessori as well as Liberty Lands Park, Cruz Park, and The Piazza.

You'll be surrounded by some of the neighborhood's most loved spots...Weeknight dinner at North Third, cocktails at Standard Tap, or a casual night at Jerry's Bar. Brunch at Cafe La Maude or Honeys Sit and Eat, or coffee at One Shot Cafe and Menagerie. It's the kind of neighborhood where your regular spots become part of your routine.
