Trinity Tuesday: Let There Be Light in Northern Liberties

This trinity's corner location gives it twice as many windows as a typical trinity, the better to show off the exposed-brick walls and wood-beam ceiling that give it a funky charm.

You’ll be as snug as a bug in a rug in this charming trinity in the heart of Northern Liberties. While this home is admittedly quite small at 800 square feet, this classic trinity with exposed brick on all floors offer a cozy retreat from a day in the grand city.

This home’s corner location means all the rooms have windows on two sides, giving them unusually abundant natural light. The generous amount of windows (for a trinity) creates a breathable space for the living room, highlighting the red oak floors and a newly built red oak spiral staircase with original plaster detailing.

The wood beam ceilings, French door, exposed brick, and lots of natural light pouring from the windows of the second floor bedroom add a quirky and quiet touch to this potential office space or bedroom. The bathroom on this floor is completely up-to-date thanks to a recent renovation.

The master bedroom on the third floor is a spacious hideaway–perfect for those days you want some alone time. The angled ceiling is a traditional trinity feature, and the alcove next to the closet can be used for extra storage space. The kitchen and laundry can both be found in the basement.

Located within one block of public transportation, Liberties Walk, Liberty Lands Park and the Orianna Hill Dog Park, this home is a dream for those who want some great regular spots to enjoy on the weekends. What’s also appealing is the close walk to the Piazza, Acme supermarket, and all of the bars and restaurants you can take your friends out to, should you want a night out in the city.
