Description

Step into timeless charm with this beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated Victorian twin nestled in Historic Germantown, Philadelphia. Boasting 6 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a generous mix of original character and modern upgrades, this home offers a unique blend of charm, comfort, and versatility. As you approach, park in your driveway and you're welcomed by a grand wraparound porch—perfect for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or the perfect dinner ambiance. Inside, the home features wood floors, high ceilings, and abundant natural light throughout. Enter through the front door into the foyer. Go right, into the living room, with a wood-burning stove adding warmth and coziness to the living space, ideal for Philly winters and intimate nights in. Head to the renovated kitchen, which is a chef's dream, complete with updated appliances, cabinetry, and plenty of counter space for creating and entertaining. Continue back to the back mudroom, laundry room and newly renovated full bathroom. Head upstairs to the 2nd floor to find 3 bedrooms. The front and rear bedrooms are both large and could be considered the primary bedroom - both have a great view as well. The front bedroom looks over the front garden. The rear bedroom looks over the read garden, yard and cottage. The 2nd floor bathroom has been recently renovated with a great blend of a historic and modern aesthetic. Walk up to the 3rd floor and find another 3 bedrooms. All bedrooms are spacious and there is great storage at 423 E. High St as well. Head to the backyard and find a one of a kind bonus laying beyond the main house—an 800 sq ft insulated cottage sits nestled just right, offering incredible flexibility as a guest suite, artist’s studio, home office, or other creative use. The large yard is perfect for gardening, outdoor dining, or just enjoying a quiet evening. Speaking of gardening, the soil has been tested and is extremely nutrient rich, the front garden gets full sun and is perfect for growing vegetables: tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans, herbs, and more, with arched trellis to support. There are perennial herbs and flowers growing along the both side of the yard. Don't forget the fruit trees: peach, Juneberry, fig, elderberry, cherry, and grapes. Your very own Germantown homestead awaits! Additionally, big updates include solar panels (paid off at settlement), newer roof (2019), renovated bathrooms and kitchen, new siding, and so much more. With easy access to public transit, shops, parks, and all that Germantown and the NW has to offer, this property is a rare find ready to become home. *Photos available 8/14*
