On the Market: Contemporary Trinity in Northern Liberties
Never mind the postage-stamp patio: This recently renovated trinity comes with its own private park.
You may need to get the okay of your neighbors, but you don’t have to worry about not having enough space for a hammock or a barbecue grill if you buy this trinity at 9 Bristow Place, Philadelphia, PA 19123. That’s because it comes not with a pocket-sized courtyard but with a decent-sized park in front. / Photos by Gary Schempp via Bright MLS and Elfant Wissahickon Realtors
Cute courtyard trinities can be found in many Philadelphia neighborhoods, including Northern Liberties. They’re most common in Queen Village, it appears, but you can find some wherever you find trinities.
Today, I offer you something you will probably have to search long and hard to find anywhere else: A trinity that faces a private park.
Front parklet
This Northern Libeties contemporary trinity house for sale and its four neighbors all face a private gated park with a garden shed and a large cherry tree in its center.
The cherry tree and the house fronts
Imagine hanging out here when the weather’s nice.
And when it’s not, or when you just want to hang indoors, this renovated trinity can accommodate your desires as well.
Dining room and kitchen
The makeover turned it into a fine example of contemporary design. It all begins with the kitchen and dining room on the main floor.
Kitchen and dining room
The kitchen features modern stainless-steel appliances and a bright red brick tile backsplash. A decorative fireplace, one of two in this house, graces the dining area. And everything sits under a beamed ceiling.
Bathroom and living room
The second floor contains the house’s full bathroom and an L-shaped room that can serve as a living room, a study, or even both.
Living room
This room contains the other decorative fireplace. It also contains the washer and dryer.
Bathroom
The bathroom, meanwhile, has a full-tile shower with a storage area for your cleaning products. It also has matching tile wainscoting.
Primary bedroom
Primary bedroom
The top floor is given completely over to a skylit primary bedroom with an open closet.
Basement bedroom
You’ll find another one of those in the bedroom in the basement.
Powder room
And that bedroom has its own en-suite powder room with a grotto-like feel.
Besides the gated park, this Northern Liberties contemporary trinity house for sale also offers a load of convenience. You can walk from here to the shops and restaurants on Second Street as well as the Delaware Riverfront. Spring Garden station on the Market-Frankford Line is just steps away, and a short drive takes you to the I-95 and I-676 on-ramps.
All this and a private garden oasis? Well, if that’s not enough for you, wait until you see how much this house costs.
