This pretty twin home, graced with original detail, is the legacy of the 1920's building boom in Germantown. 4 bedrooms, not just 3! 1 full bath on the 2nd floor and powder room on the first floor. At 100 years old, it offers some very liveable, functional features that newer twin homes today do not: An entry foyer that blocks cold air from coming into the living area in the winter; a delightful and functional bench and storage bin at the bottom of the stairs near the entrance; an open covered front porch that invites lounging on a sunny day; 9 foot high ceilings; and the beauty of never-painted stained oak trim on windows, around doors and on the staircase.
