About This Property

Don't miss out on this Victorian gem in Germantown! This lovely 4-bed, 3 and a half bath home embodies the perfect blend of past and present. The owners have made many updates while lovingly maintaining the original character of the home. A few historic details include a Franklin stove in the kitchen, built-in hoosier cabinets, tons of original woodwork, and floor-to-ceiling front windows. Other highlights include high ceilings, exposed brick, refinished hardwood floors throughout, a 2-car garage, gated driveway, front porch, large backyard, and a spacious in-law suite with a separate entrance. 

This home's awesome layout includes an airy first floor with a newly added powder room and a huge master suite on the second floor. Up on the third floor, you'll find an awesome hospitality suite with its own separate entrance, a bedroom, full bath, kitchen, and living/dining area! This third-floor suite could be a great guest suite or an air bnb, or even potentially house a long-term tenant. Additionally, the basement offers tons of storage space and a washer/dryer. 

This authentic home has been thoughtfully updated throughout. Upgrades include a completely renovated kitchen, renovated master bath, improved master closet, new light fixtures, a new cement back patio with a new ceiling fan, a new HVAC system, updates to the 3rd-floor kitchen, and more. The huge fenced-in backyard provides a private oasis for relaxing and activities like gardening, grilling, entertaining, etc. The yard has established perennials that will come back every Spring and require little to maintain, with vibrant summer flowers like echinacea, lilac, and black-eyed susans. There is also a fig tree that produces a bounty of figs in the late summer!

Enjoy living in a vibrant, green neighborhood where you can walk to tons of parks including the Wissahickon. This blossoming area offers plenty of great shops and markets nearby. Weaver's Way is opening a large location about 3 blocks away! A few local gems include Uncle Bobbie's bookstore, Wild Hand fiber store, Pomelo plant shop, Ultimo Coffee and Young American Cidery. You're also just a short walk away from 2 regional rail stations for an easy commute to Center City. Schedule your showing today!
