Welcome to 988 N 2nd Street, a rare and spacious studio in the heart of Northern Liberties offering nearly 850 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Step inside to find beautiful hardwood floors, exposed brick, and a charming fireplace that add warmth and character throughout. The updated kitchen opens to a generous dining area, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. Just beyond the kitchen, discover a private rooftop deck, which offers a peaceful retreat perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation while enjoying stunning skyline views. The bathroom has been tastefully updated and well maintained, and the open layout offers flexibility to create distinct living, dining, and sleeping areas.

Located in one of Philadelphia's most vibrant neighborhoods, you'll be just steps from some of the city's best restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, and nightlife, with easy access to I-95 for convenient commuting. A newly implemented neighborhood noise ordinance requiring local businesses to turn off music by 10 PM helps preserve the quiet, residential charm of Northern Liberties while still enjoying everything the area has to offer. Location, character, and space -- this Northern Liberties gem truly has it all.

Unit could potentially be ready for move-in before April 15th.
