949 N Leithgow Street

Description

Come see this gem of a property that is a stand out for its design and quality of craftsmanship. This 7 years young, tried and true 4-story home was beautifully designed and expertly built by Callahan Ward. The modern facade is clad in brick, metal, and wood, and expansive windows allow for ample natural light and an airy interior space. The first level of the house is recessed to allow for a covered pedestrian entrance and additional turning radius for ease when pulling into the garage off of charming and quiet Leithgow Street. Through the front door, an entrance hallway leads past the garage access and opens up to a welcoming space highlighted by views of the beautiful private patio. Here you can hang up your coat, drop your bags, and remove and store your shoes and boots before taking either of the two stairways. One leads down to a finished basement where you will find the wide plank oak flooring that runs throughout the house. Natural light flows in from both the stairwell and the light well from the patio. This space makes for a great media room, gym, or a 4th bedroom or guest suite given the full bath on this level. There is also a spacious utility and storage closet. Back up the stairs to the main living level on the 2nd floor you will find a generous open living/kitchen/dining space with high-end finishes, recessed tray ceilings, a gas fireplace, and an oak framed glass stairwell wall. The window glass to floor area ratio is very high in this property allowing for wonderful daylight penetrating the entire house, even on the most overcast of days. The beautiful and highly functional kitchen features quality cabinetry, white quartz counters, countertop to ceiling ceramic tile backsplash, a hood with exterior exhaust, and KitchenAid appliances. The 3rd floor has two spacious bedrooms for guests, family, or an office/studio space as well as a full hall bath with a double vanity and a tub/shower with a white ceramic tile surround. A separate laundry room and one of two HVAC systems is on this floor. The owner's suite occupies the entire 4th floor with a seating area, luxurious bath, and a walk-in closet with a customized closet system. The bathroom features river stone flooring, a double floating vanity with a white quartz countertop, and a spacious frameless glass and ceramic tile shower stall. The landing on the 3rd floor accesses both the owner's suite and door to the deck offering Center City skyline views. Modern in design, advanced in construction, warm in finishes, this refined urban space offers the best of Northern Liberties in the best pocket of the neighborhood. Just a short walk from excellent neighborhood amenities including Cafe La Maude, Liberty Lands Park, Orkney Park, Orianna Hill dog park, several community gardens, Giant Heirloom Market, City Fitness, Yards Brewery, Target, and Spring Garden Street subway station. 3 years left on the tax abatement. This is a home you won't want to miss.
