Property Description
Located less than one block from the historic center of Germantown, Market Square, this late 19th century twin offers historic elements and modern conveniences. Featuring a traditional straight-through configuration, there are 4 rooms and a powder room on the first floor, 2 Bedrooms and 1 bath on the 2nd floor, and 2 bedrooms on the 3rd floor. From a modest but serviceable front porch, the entrance hallway allows entry to the living room, then to the rear of the dining area, and on to the office space connecting to the kitchen. There is a powder room located in the office area along with a large closet. In the kitchen, you will find a washer and dryer and enough space for a butcher block island or a small table and two chairs. From the kitchen, there is access to the private fenced side yard. At the top of the stairway is the large 2nd-floor full bath and natural light from 3 windows. Featuring the original 19th-century flooring on the 2nd floor, towards the front of the house is the 2nd bedroom on the left followed by the main bedroom with a large closet overlooking Church Lane. Step back in time using the original stairway to reach the 3rd floor. The 3rd floor is comprised of two modest-sized bedrooms and a large hall storage closet. Concerned about parking? There is a new concrete driveway for two cars to complement on-street parking. Recently installed fencing offers privacy and a small garden in the side yard . With easy access to Uncle Bobby's Coffee, many of Germatown's historic sites, and SEPTA bus service on Germantown Ave, this house is in the proposed Germantown Urban District.
