This well-maintained, stone Twin enjoys an ideal location - a short equidistant walk to Germantown Avenue's popular downtowns - Mt Airy and Chestnut Hill. In 1993, the owners sold their previous home and never left the neighborhood. In fact, they never even crossed the street - as they only moved around the corner. This idyllic, community-minded neighborhood has the added benefit of being on a one-way street with parking available on both sides of the street as well as ample parking in the long driveway and garage. Before opening the front door, please stop and turn around! Imagine summer evenings spent on the front porch, looking out over these handsome Wissahickon schist homes and the Frank Furness designed, 1882 Victorian Gowen Train Station. The workmanship and integrity built into these early 1900s solid stone homes provide timeless character to passersby and pleasing features to family and guests. Deep window sills and high baseboards follow the original wood floors throughout the house. The entrance foyer, with its turned staircase, handsome newel post & balustrades, opens into the sunny living room. There is a generous 3-window bay & box seating on one side of the dining room that can easily seat a large crowd and still have room for storage. The 4-window kitchen has remained largely unchanged and provides ample storage as well as back door access to the yard and the detached overhead-door garage. The sunny 2nd floor front bedroom features an exposed brick wall and fireplace (non-functioning) to one side and a door to what could be a roof deck on the other side. The two additional bedrooms, a deep cedar closet for seasonal clothing and a hall bathroom complete this floor. The 3rd floor has another hall bathroom set between the two big bedrooms - one spacious, the other oversized, The roof lines bring a cozy feel to these generous rooms. The unfinished basement has a laundry room with an outside entrance and an open expansive area - ripe for workshop, storage or development. The functional-sized backyard has seen succeeding generations of lawn for play & family areas, followed by mixes of annual and perennial gardens. Winters are made comfortable with comfortable hot water radiators, while the five mini-split units cool off the bulk of the house in hot summers. Whether summer or winter, the thick exterior walls tend to retain the indoor temperatures. Come spend some time walking the neighborhood and see if this house/neighborhood can become your "forever" home!
