2672 Deacon St

Philadelphia, PA 19129

This recently restored and updated, detached single family home is tucked down a quiet one way street, one block from Fern Hill park, Germantown's biggest, most popular park. This single block street is on the boundary of Germantown and East Falls, close to the Rt 1 ramps, off of Wissahickon Avenue, near to Henry Ave and Kelly Drive, and 6 blocks from the Queen's Lane regional rail station. In this location, you're close to both the East Falls and Germantown restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries; you're also near to Drexel's Medical school, and walking distance to a shopping center with a great grocery store, among other things. Beyond being convenient, the block has a community feel and hosts several block parties and neighbors often cookout together on nice evenings. 2672 Deacon St was originally built as "worker housing" a hundred years ago and has been recently renovated with an eye towards lasting another hundred years. The owners saved what original materials they could and incorporated those materials back into the house. From the 100-year old scrollwork hinges, the original interior doors, exposed brick and heartwood beams to the reclaimed wood shelving in the kitchen, these hardworking building materials of the last century have been paired with the modern amenities of 1st floor laundry, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, a fresh deck out back and updated electrical, hvac, and plumbing systems. Upstairs you will find the bedrooms, each generous in size with the front bedroom being large enough to accommodate a king bed. The main bath off the hallway has a custom corner vanity and features a deep soaking tub and shower combo. All of the windows are replacement windows and the roof is less than 5 years old. The basement has been repointed with lime mortar and lime washed, and offers plenty of storage.This house is tucked away on a street most people would never notice; it's a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.
