Finally you have the opportunity to purchase a Victorian home in West Germantown with original character that has been well maintained and updated by its owners. This porch front home sits up above the street and has a vestibule to greet you beyond the porch. Enter into the foyer with the original detailed banister, with a formal parlor to the right that wraps you in natural light through large windows. Thirteen of these windows have been replaced with wood, windows stained to match the originals. Pocket doors correct you to the dining room, with built in china cabinet and an access door to the rear side porch. Continue toward the rear of the house and the owners added a half bath here that still contains a coat closet. On the other side of the hall is a butler's pantry with a stacked washer/dryer and a custom built in with a pull out shelf for laundry storage by Design Perks, LLC. The rear kitchen has an original pantry as well as range hood and dishwasher. The floor has a stone piece from what we assume used to be a kitchen stove. The butler's staircase is tucked in a corner. This entire floor has been rewired. Indulge your desire for outdoor space as well with a dramatically long yard...with a tire swing! Returning inside, the second floor features a rear large bedroom the owners use as a family room, featuring a mantle, a wood burning fireplace with insert and plentiful light, overlooking the yard. There are two more large bedrooms on this floor: the front two connecting. The full bath has a tub/shower combo and wood wainscoting. The third floor has two more generous bedrooms and a walk-in storage closet with built-in shelves and a window. Around the corner from Ultimo Coffee, a block away from Rittenhouse Soundworks.
