429 W GEORGE ST, Philadelphia, PA, 19123

This charming house embodies all the qualities that make Northern Liberties such a popular choice for modern families. Since it was built, 429 West George Street has only been owned by two families, and both have taken care to preserve the historic details that make it a classic example of the neighborhood architecture: original red pine floors, hidden shelves and built-in storage crafted by early 20th century carpenters. The house is also enhanced by the addition of a fully reconstructed kitchen with granite counter tops, a breakfast bar and craft style cabinets. Food shopping is easy in this neighborhood where two major grocery chains have stores within a ten-minute walk. The house in enhanced with two lovely outdoor spaces. Outside the kitchen is a European style tiled garden where you can enjoy dinner in a private open space. The second floor features a deck where you can relax with friends in the evening or enjoy morning coffee. When it's chilly outside, you can bask in the beauty and warmth of an authentic kiva fireplace on the second floor. It's located in the rear bedroom--which could also be re-purposed as an office space, nursery, or den. The second floor front bedroom features new bamboo floors and an accent wall, just across the hall from a full bathroom. The third floor offers a great open living area that stretches the full length of the house. This large room could easily be divided into two bedrooms or be used as a family room with cozy nooks for kids and adults. One of the main assets of this home is the neighborhood, which is filled with tree-lined streets. It is one of Philly's most walkable communities with easily accessed transit lines running to Center City, Delaware River parks, and points beyond. St. Peter's Shrine, with its affiliated, pre K-8th grade school is just around the corner. Bodine High School for International Affairs is one block away. Nearby community gardens, dog parks, bars and restaurants ensure there is something to delight family members of any age. Come visit and you'll see.
