Description
This gracious, Penn-Knox Victorian offers beautiful period architecture, distinctive character, and a versatile multi-unit layout, with each apartment offering its own unique charm. Currently, 3 of the 4 units are occupied by long-term tenants on month-to-month leases.
The first-floor rear unit in two stories and has a private exterior entrance and features a spacious living room with a beamed ceiling and parquet flooring, a kitchen with an exposed brick wall, and a convenient first-floor powder room. Upstairs, the bedroom with bay window is accompanied by an adjoining study, creating a flexible and comfortable living space.
Also on the first floor, with a street-facing porch entrance, is a separate one-bedroom apartment. This charming unit features a large living room with a beautiful bay window, parquet flooring, and access to the basement. The apartment can easily be rejoined with the rear unit, creating an especially appealing owner-occupant configuration. Currently, this unit is unoccupied.
The second-floor unit offers one bedroom, a generously sized living room, and an eat-in kitchen. On the third floor, you’ll find a large primary bedroom, a second bedroom, and a spacious eat-in kitchen.
Located on a sought-after block in Germantown, you are just steps to the shops and restaurants in Maplewood Mall (Lily of the Valley Cupcakery & Cafe'), Market Square, and Chelten Avenue (Al-Sham Restaurant and Das Good Cafe), Ultimo Coffee, and Weaver's Way Co-Op
This property is also within easy walking distance of local schools like The Philadelphia School for the Deaf, Greene Street Friends and Germantown Friends School, as well as public transportation, while offering the architectural character and flexibility that make historic Philadelphia properties so special.
