Welcome home to this lovingly restored six bedroom porch front twin in Historic Germantown! The handsome stone exterior has beautiful bay windows and a large front porch, great for reading on a summer evening or drinking coffee. Come on inside to your living room with fireplace and grand original staircase with under stairs closet storage. The formal dining room with built in storage leads back to the newly renovated kitchen with white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, a classic white subway tile backsplash, and original butler's pantry cabinetry. The laundry room is conveniently located on the first floor off the kitchen, and also can serve for storage for outdoor items when you're not using them in the huge back yard. Head up the cheery red back staircase to the second floor, where you'll find 3 bedrooms and a hall bath. One of the bedrooms has a working fireplace and is large enough to be used as a family room, parlor, or library. The other two bedrooms are connected which could make for a great master bed with dressing room or easy nursery access. The second floor bath has been newly renovated with radiant floor heating and a glass enclosed stand up shower. On the third floor there are three more bedrooms, a large hall storage closet, and the second bathroom which features a claw foot tub. Almost all of the hardwood floors in the home are original, and many of the walls have been re-plastered for a fresh and new appearance. Windows have been replaced recently and many of the radiators have thermostatic valves so you can always keep the house at a comfortable temperature. Parking in the area is also plentiful with parking allowed on both sides of Church Lane, but you may not need it to commute to Center City with the regional rail station only blocks away or to head to your new favorite hot spots - Uncle Bobbie's Coffee & Books and Pizzeria Nonna. With thoughtful renovation, tasteful modern updates, and located only a few blocks from the Germantown Ave revitalization, this home is ready for its new owners.
