A new AC and gas furnaceÂ add year-round comfort. Upstairs, the second-floor hosts three well-sized bedrooms, a full bath, and a lovely covered porch filled with natural light-an inspiring spot for reading or quiet reflection. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms, another full bath, and a flexible bonus room ideal as an office, playroom, or creative studio. A walk-up attic provides even more storage or potential for expansion. The full unfinished walkout basement is perfect for a workshop, gym, or additional storage-with easy access to the backyard. The driveway comfortably fits two cars, another feature that sets this home apart. Located in the heart of Historic West Germantown, you'll enjoy easy access to Thomas Jefferson University, Walnut Lane Golf Club, the regional train, and Weavers Way Co-op. Nearby private schoolsÂ such as Penn Charter, Germantown Friends, Green Street Friends, and Waldorf Philadelphia are all within walking distance. Outdoor enthusiasts will love Cloverly Park, while Wissahickon Brewing Company-a local favorite for family-friendly food trucks, music, and community events-is just around the corner. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a home where history, character, and modern convenienceÂ meet-protected with a 1-year American Home Shield Home WarrantyÂ for added peace of mind.
