Listing description

Welcome to 957 N Lawrence Street, located on a beautiful, tree-lined street in Northern Liberties. This 19th-century home offers historic character and charm with a modern floor plan and thoughtful updates, plus a desirable backyard and finished basement. On the first floor, you’ll find an open living space with hardwood floors, exposed wooden beams, a fireplace, exposed brick walls, and a large, recently renovated kitchen. The kitchen features white shaker cabinets with plenty of storage, custom quartz countertops, a farmhouse-style sink, a subway tile backsplash, and a large island for food prep and seating. The kitchen opens to a large, 18' wide outdoor space offering lots of room for gathering, grilling, and play. The professionally landscaped space features artificial turf and wood-decked areas, cement planters, a storage shed, and a wooden privacy fence backed by a wall of bamboo. Plus, with a custom-built wooden trash receptacle at the front of the house, your backyard oasis can remain clean and tidy. Back inside, the stunning book-matched staircase leading to the second floor is a focal point. On the second floor, you’ll find two well-proportioned bedrooms, one with built-in closet cabinetry and the other with a custom-built desk. Both rooms feature hardwood floors and exposed brick walls. The bedrooms are adjacent to a hall bath with a tub/shower combination and a large vanity. Follow the half-turn spiral staircase to the third floor, where you will discover a large owner's suite featuring a gabled ceiling with exposed beams, an exposed brick wall, hardwood floors, an office area, a large walk-in closet with custom cabinetry, and a light-filled ensuite bathroom with a double vanity, tile shower with a frameless glass door, a linen closet, and a skylight overhead. The finished basement includes a washer, newer dryer, wine refrigerator, and additional space for an office, playroom, or storage. This well-designed, well-maintained home also includes a rental parking space off the street directly behind the house, prepaid for one year. Located just a couple of blocks from Orkney Park, Liberty Lands Park, Orianna Hill Dog Park, Cafe La Maude, Bardot, and all the amenities of the 2nd and 3rd Street commercial corridors, this home has the charm, character, style, outdoor space, and parking you have been looking for, all at a price that is within reach.
