About this home
This tax season, the best 1040 might not be a form—it might be an address. Tucked onto a quiet block in the heart of Northern Liberties, 1040 N Leithgow Street offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern lifestyle. This expanded trinity blends historic character with thoughtful updates, creating a space that’s both stylish and functional. Step inside to a welcoming first floor designed for gathering. The full-service kitchen, lined with windows overlooking the patio, makes everyday cooking feel bright and connected to the outdoors. New solid-wood floors on the first floor complemented by the powder room and a convenient basement hatch for laundry and extra storage. Out back, a paver patio and breezeway make hosting friends, grilling on summer nights, or simply taking the trash out refreshingly easy. Garden beds are ready for your green thumb when the season arrives. The second floor offers abundant windows, exposed brick, original wood floors, a full bathroom with tiled shower and open shelving, and flexible space that can serve as a generous living room and home office—or easily be converted to a second bedroom with a divider wall (seller willing to install for the right buyer). [Our idea was to install a translucent, sliding divider wall that runs parallel to the front wall, creating a 3' walkway from the stairs to the 1st and 3rd floors. It would feel open, light, and airy, while also creating privacy if a 2nd bedroom were desired.] The third-floor bedroom feels like a private sanctuary, with vaulted ceilings, great closet space, and sliding glass doors that open to your own green roof terrace - perfect for morning coffee above the city or winding down under the stars. The vegetation on the roof is primarily sedum, which is very hearty and loves to be walked on (it helps it disperse and grow). It will return to its glory as we head into spring. Use the hose bib if you choose to grow other flowers & plants that require watering, which sedum does not. ... With 1 or 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, generous closets, and additional basement storage, this layout adapts to your lifestyle. All in one of Philadelphia’s most vibrant neighborhoods and just a few blocks from restaurants, shops, grocery stores, Orianna Hill Dog Park, and Liberty Lands, with easy access to the Market–Frankford El at Front & Girard plus I-95 and I-676. Historic charm. Modern comfort. Indoor-outdoor living. Welcome home....
