This 130+/- year old home has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and amazing outdoor spaces off of each level. A quiet, tree-lined block leads to the towering brick facade. Inside, the living room has distinctive character showcased in the original, random-width hardwood floors, exposed beam ceilings, wood shutters, and fireplace mantel. Past the staircase, you'll find a bright, open dining room and an updated kitchen with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, and granite counters. A powder room is nearby. One of the home's highlights is surely the large, sunlit den at the rear of the first level. This airy space is lined with glass doors that allow seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining with the home's rare backyard, perfect for summer barbecues and al fresco dining. Up on the second level, a bright bedroom with features similar to the living room is at the front. At the rear is a second bedroom and a full bathroom with the laundry. Two more bedrooms and a large bathroom top off the home. Each level has its own roof deck that displays mesmerizing views. There's also an expansive basement with extra storage space and updated utilities. In addition to everything inside, 254 N Lawrence St's sought-after location earns a Walk Score of 96! This prime Old City location is steps from friendly shops and top-rated restaurants, like Radicchio Cafe and Kisso Sushi Bar. The nation's history is on display nearby at Independence Mall, and lively events are held along the Delaware Riverfront at Penn's Landing, Cherry Street Pier, and Spruce Street Harbor.
