This Germantown twin's historic charm will steal your heart at every turn, inside and out, beginning with the handsome brick facade with stone porch, original front door and vestibule entrance. Pine floors, high ceilings, ornate radiators, paned windows and all original doors and trim run throughout. The spacious open living/dining… Read More room with wood-burning stove and arched-sash front windows leads to the large kitchen. Key updates like recessed lighting, subway tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances are met with retro-cool '80s finishes like freshly painted solid wood flat-front cabinets, green Formica countertops and linoleum tile floor-plus a vintage built-in hutch-in a great layout. A span of cabinets with an LG French-door fridge, Whirlpool dishwasher, stainless steel sink, and butcher block countertop runs along one wall, across from an L-shaped workspace with a slide-in JennAir range with griddle burner on the peninsula and a large passthrough to the rear sunroom. Here there's a fun blue painted brick wall, a bank of built-ins and a wall of windows overlooking an enormous deck leading to the extra-deep fenced-in yard with lush mature landscaping, including a Japanese maple and a large crab apple tree complete with tire swing. The bright and airy upstairs has period light fixtures in every room. A lovely open sitting room with two windows is nestled between two bedrooms and a vintage bathroom with cobalt ceramic tile floor, white ceramic wall tile, original cast iron corner tub and a transom above the door. The rear bedroom has two exposures, as does the enormous front bedroom with original French doors and large closet. There's plenty of storage along with laundry in the full basement. This home has been well-maintained and lovingly updated in the eight years of the seller's ownership, including a new roof and complete rewire. Super convenient to all the greenspace the Wissahickon offers, this block of Church Ln is also just off Germantown Ave, putting Uncle Bobbie's Coffee & Books, Attic Brewing Co., Wyck Historic House and a new Weavers Way Co-op location at your fingertips.
