Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from July 25, 2023
This distinctive Victorian home offers the luxury of space and the warmth of detail that typify the 1870's era in architecture. With 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, this 3-story brick and stone semi-detached home has a delightful wrap-around front porch, high ceilings, bright large sunny rooms, beautiful walnut inlaid oak floors, and lots of original character. The first floor features an entryway that leads to a formal living area with crown molding and a faux fireplace. The dining/kitchen area is open and bright, serving as the “heart” of the home with the flexibility to host a small diner party with friends or a large holiday celebration with family. There is a convenient first floor powder room. The kitchen itself is particularly functional space with good counters, abundant cabinetry/shelving, gas cooking, and dishwasher. The wonderfully organized mud room at the rear of the house helps keep order to the ebb and flow of daily life with an exit to the large fenced yard and gardens. The second-floor features three large bedrooms, one with intricate fireplace mantel, each with closets, including an unusually large primary bedroom with attached dressing area, a south facing deck. A convenient 2nd floor laundry is in the hall. The hall bath has been updated with shower over tub. All interior bedroom doors feature the added touch of transom windows. The third floor boasts two bedrooms with one adjacent to a kitchen and a large entertainment space. This floor is ideal as a great in-law suite or for a live-in au pair. Additionally, there is a working dumb waiter that serves all three floors! Basement: full, unfinished, high ceilinged for utilities, storage and work area. The yard is large, fenced, and includes a beautiful garden, many fruit trees and shrubs, and private patio. The detached one car garage opens on Earlham Terrace in the rear. The house also features gas heat, solar electric with panels on the garage roof, tankless hot water, heater and many other energy efficient features. The 200 block of Winona Street is a quiet, tree lined residential street that enjoys beautiful, cared-for homes and gardens and an 84 walk-score. It is a tight-knit community with monthly potlucks or get-togethers, block clean-ups and more. It boasts a location that is a short walk to the Wissahickon Creek area of Fairmount Park, a 10-minute drive to Center City Philadelphia, or a 2.5 block walk to the Chelten Avenue Station of the Chestnut Hill West line that takes you to Center City or 30th Street Amtrak Station and the airport. This is a wonderful and unique house tailored for working/learning from home and enjoying the outdoors. It is an example of historic Germantown at its best. Come see this gem of a property right away! Quick settlement possible.
