Description

Beautiful design. Highly functional floor plan. Timeless finishes. Garage parking. Great location. 1112 N Bodine checks all those boxes, and that is rare in a Philadelphia home. Arriving at the property you will first notice the authenticity of the board-formed concrete first-floor facade, which is surmounted by gray metal standing seam siding and an extensive window plan. Enter through a recessed frosted glass door with sidelight into a welcoming foyer. Short flights of floating stairs invite you up or down toward inviting living spaces. Off the foyer is a well-placed powder room. The main living level is anchored with a large U-shaped kitchen featuring extensive quartz counter space, bar seating for three, warm wood veneer cabinetry, beautiful stainless steel appliances, a subway tile wall with glass shelving, and a sidebar with a live edge wood countertop. Adjacent to the kitchen is one of two potential dining spaces lit with western light through large, sliding patio doors leading out to a substantial, private patio featuring two Japanese maple trees and plenty of room for grilling, dining, and lounging. Up a few steps is an expansive living area centered by a gray stone breast wall surrounding a gas fireplace with two visible exposures. The front wall is two-thirds glass offset by a large built-in shelving unit perfect for art objects, photographs, and books. The floor space wrapping around the fireplace offers possibilities for multiple seating areas as well as a second dining area. There is both visual and audio connectivity to the kitchen through a large interior window protected by a glass panel open around the edges. A short flight of steps down from the entrance foyer will land you at a second living space with a towering ceiling, contemporary exposed ductwork, another large shelving unit, and lots of natural light. Beyond this living area is a large utility room with a full-size laundry area, a workbench, and plenty of storage shelves. One level up from the primary living space you will find a light-filled, spacious bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom featuring a full-size tub with shower, frameless glass panel, floating vanity, and beautiful tile installation. The top floor features a 2nd bedroom with an ensuite bathroom that includes all the same features previously mentioned. On the top floor, you'll also find the primary suite, which offers a large bedroom area, a lengthy walk-in closet with built-in cabinetry, and a spacious ensuite bathroom with a stall shower and double vanity. One more flight up takes you to the roof that is ready for your decking material, or use it as is for additional outdoor lounging space, and viewing the neighborhood skyline. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street in the north end of Northern Liberties, you will be just steps from the lovely green space and programming for all ages at Liberty Lands Park. Dog owners will enjoy the renowned Orianna Hill Dog Park across from Liberty Lands. 1112 N Bodine places you well within walking distance to a plethora of fine restaurants and cafes, including One Shot, Pera, and Pietramala, as well as the restaurants and shops in Fishtown and Southeast Kensington. This is a truly exceptional property, priced under $1M, and one that you don't want to miss.
