Property Description

Welcome to your bright and spacious 2-bed, 1-full bath end-townhome nestled in the heart of the famous historic Penn-Knox district neighborhood, Germantown. Here, tucked away on a quaint 1-way street close to major thoroughfare, you have all of the excitement without all the hassle. This beautiful townhome features a gorgeous brick exterior, stunning woodwork, banisters, trim, and built-ins, beautiful original doors with florentine glass and transoms, exquisitely restored hardwood floors, central air conditioning, a newly-tiled bathroom, new roof and flashings, fresh, chic coats of paint, great storage capacity, and wonderfully large windows everywhere.

Through the formal main entrance is a handsome, tiled vestibule with a beautiful florentine glass interior door. Walking through feels like crossing worlds and while it will do its job to keep your home the ideal temperature year-round, youll find it particularly favorable on cold winter nights and hot summer days. On the other side of the interior door, youll be greeted by the stunning and functional ornate woodwork that not only ties your home together, but will always earn compliments from your guests. The first piece of functional art youll notice is likely the gorgeous straight staircase, which has a convenient built-in storage space and borders the main living areas. Both bright, elegant, and doused in natural light, the larger, more open area is perfect as a dining room and/or main space for daily activities, while the more intimate space is perfect for reading, conversing, and enjoying the day.

Beyond the main living area is the cheery, modern kitchen, starring a restored built-in hutch and chic finishes. What might be the most special feature about your home aside from its splendid woodwork is right on the other side of the kitchen door: your own private, enclosed garden.

Go back inside and up the stairs to find 2 spacious bedrooms and a stylishly updated full-bathroom, which boasts 2 windows. Within the main bedroom, youll find an original custom built-in wardrobe- something beautiful and unique you can always look forward to using (and one less piece of furniture you have to worry about). The 2nd bedroom is flooded in natural light with a birds eye view of the landmarks on the block.

Germantown ranks within WalkScores Top 50 Most Walkable Neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Just at the end of your picturesque block is a sweet little community park, where you can have your own plot! Also right on your block are two of the historical landmarks Germantown is famous for: Trinity Lutheran Church and the Germantown Boys and Girls Club. Germantown Friends School is just one more block away. If youre in the mood for adventure, there are many different types to choose from. If you still want to stay hyper-local, you can just take a stroll to nearby spots like Uncle Bobbie's Cafe & Bookstore. Dekes Garage Roadhouse BBQ and Attic Brewing Company are just a quick 5 minute ride on the 23, the local SEPTA bus line, which is just steps away from your front door. The 23 runs north to Chestnut Hill and south to Center City and is a short trip away from Wayne Junctions Septa Regional Rail Line.
