About This Property
Here is an opportunity to live within the walls of history,
surrounded by contemporary style, and embedded with 21st-century
amenities. Come see this extraordinary Germantown property and
experience the space, the charm, the character, and the serenity
that you have longed for in a Philadelphia home. This 1857 home,
originally built for John Wister, rests on an extraordinary 60 x
150' lot that allows for the home to be set well back from the
street, a large rear bricked patio, a spacious side yard, a parking
area for up to 4 cars, and all directly across from beautiful 8
acre Vernon Park. Enter this property through a lovely front porch,
beyond the fanlight door surround, into an open entrance hall
featuring an early 20th-century pendant light, clear finished oak
floors that run throughout the living areas, and the original
corner fireplace. To the right is a beautiful staircase backed by
leaded glass windows. A cushioned window seat looks out onto the
front porch. Through the entrance hall is a spacious living room
highlighted by original window and door moldings. There are windows
on both sides of the living room and also a door to the sunporch.
Through a wide opening lies the dining room, beautifully lit by
south-facing French doors that open to the sunroom. An elegant
crown molding runs the perimeter of the dining room. The
sun-drenched kitchen anchors the first floor. It has extensive
cabinetry, up-market appliances, plenty of granite counter space,
and a large island for meals and gatherings. The kitchen floors are
original yellow pine painted in a historical pattern and the
ceiling is tongue and groove pine. A beautiful archway opens to a
back staircase to the 2nd floor. To the rear of the kitchen is a
large mudroom with laundry, a large original utility sink, a half
bathroom, and additional storage. Beyond the mudroom is the brick
patio backed by a massive, well-maintained, white ash tree
providing afternoon shade in the warmer months. The second floor
features 3 bedrooms. The large primary bedroom is in the front of
the house. It offers windows on two sides, double closets with
beveled mirror doors, and plenty of space for a king bed as well as
a seating area. The adjacent bathroom features a double vanity and
a spacious, frameless glass shower. Next to the primary bath is a
hall bath with an exceptional vitreous ceramic freestanding tub
with shower surround, and a nickel and marble early 20th century
style sink. The middle bedroom has two large south-facing windows
and good closet space. The rear bedroom is quite large and features
a 3 paneled, south-facing, bay window flanked by built-in
bookshelves, and has a west-facing window that overlooks the patio.
In the center of this floor is the skylighted staircase to the
third floor which has 4 additional bedrooms, and a lovely hall bath
with wallpaper and wainscoting. The basement is large, very dry,
and perfectly suitable for storage. It also houses some
extraordinary mechanical systems including geothermal cooling, a
sophisticated hot water heating system, and a 200' deep natural
well bringing filtered water into the kitchen, and natural water
for all of your gardening and landscaping. Located just a couple of
blocks from GFS and Greene Street Friends schools, there is more to
be shared about this exceptional property than can be appropriately
expressed here. If you are serious about starting the next phase of
your life in an incredibly well-updated and wonderfully
well-maintained historic home, reach out for an appointment today.
