Property Description

This storybook Victorian home is perfectly situated on a lovely street in West Germantown's coveted Penn Knox neighborhood. Driveway parking and a lush front yard with mature landscaping, including two lilac bushes and several rose bushes, and a herringbone brick walkway lead to the charming porch and oversized vestibule entrance. A coat closet with original ceiling-height doors greets you and sets the tone for the historic details throughout like floor-to-ceiling windows, extra-wide doorways between rooms, and decorative millwork including original doors and window trim. The living room has the original random-width pine floors, which continue throughout the home, and a pair of original built-in bookshelves flanking the archway to the dining room. This space has a bay window and original butler's pantry. The cottage-chic kitchen has an exposed brick wall, exposed beams and a corner decorative fireplace with brick hearth. The U-shaped layout has open wooden lower cabinets, stainless steel appliances including a five-burner GE range, and an extra-wide storage closet. Sip coffee from the screened-in porch looking out to the large and super private fenced rear yard, where a mature yew hedge provides privacy and also a refuge for birds and a towering magnolia that offers year-round color. Upstairs the primary bedroom has two exposures from three windows and a full-wall closet. At the rear there's a sunny true bedroom and a hall bath with a soaking tub with ceramic surround and period-appropriate black and white tile flooring. The open center den has a lovely bay window and access to the full-length attic bedroom, which gets absolutely gorgeous light from dormered windows and offers a wealth of possibilities–a decked-out primary suite, perhaps? In addition to the basement storage, there's a convenient garden shed. Whether you work from home or have a commute, this is the perfect home to move right in while making upgrades over time. The great location between Germantown and Wayne avenues offers easy access to shopping and dining, the Penn St Regional Rail station and, of course, all the green space of the Wissahickon.
