Built in 1925

Full of natural light and character, this brick twin is situated on a one-way street in West Germantown. Boasting many capital improvements, this home has been lovingly updated and maintained. The Cotswold cottage style is charming and quintessential to the 1920s era. A covered front porch with stone pillars welcomes you, while the beautiful green landscaping provides natural privacy. Here is the floorplan: Enter into a central living space with a wood-burning fireplace flanked by built in bookshelves. A ceiling fan and a coat closet add comfort and convenience. The open plan flows into a sunny dining area with two new energy-efficient windows. A kitchen island offers additional seating and plenty of workspace for the discerning chef! The kitchen boasts a brand new gas cooktop and range, new microwave, a side by side refrigerator with filtered water and an icemaker, a dishwasher and plenty of cabinetry. Enjoy dinners in the garden on the newly laid, Permeable Paver patio. An herb garden and mature plantings provide a lush privacy fence for your entertaining. In 2021, the basement was renovated and outfitted as a sound studio, complete with soundproofing. A half bath with full size laundry was added, along with a storage closet, recessed lighting, electric baseboard heat and a separate HVAC closet. The basement is accessible to the outside through bilco doors. The second floor has 3 generous-sized rooms, each with ample natural light, original hardwood floors, ceiling fans and some new energy-efficient windows. A full bath with tile flooring, shower over tub, privacy windows and medicine cabinet is located at the end of the hall. Improvements include: 9 new windows ('22-'23), new electric throughout ('21), new finished basement ('21), new patio ('23), new 30-year cedar shake impression vinyl siding ('24) masonry pointing ('24) and new 40-year-guaranteed reinforcement under bay windows ('24). Roof and gutter work completed in 2020. A quick walk to public transportation (Tulpehocken station on the Chestnut Hill WEST SEPTA line, which is 18 minutes to 30th Street Station) and close to Lincoln Drive, this location offers commuter convenience. Schools (public and private), shopping and commercial areas are close-by in Germantown, Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill.
