About This Home
As of July 2021This might be one of the prettiest twin houses of the season! It's a turn of the 19th to 20th century 3-story beauty with 5 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. Fully renovated in 2019 with taste and care and sensitivity to the architecture, and the owners have maintained it meticulously ever since. Special features include 1) a perfect chef's kitchen with large island and polished granite counters, 2) luxurious main bedroom suite that fits any size bed--or two!!--and includes a main bath with huge glass shower and a sleeping porch that has been converted into an extra room surrounded by windows, 3) a fully finished, well-lit, high-ceilinged comfortable basement perfect for play, for movie-watching, train sets, ping pong table, or just for hanging out. FLOOR PLAN: 1st floor: Covered porch leads to large living room with wainscot and mantel with marble top; Dining room could handle a feast for 12 and is open to the brilliant kitchen that boasts gas cooking, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, stainless steel double sink with garbage disposal, built in microwave, plenty of cabinet storage including under the center island. Counters are a beautiful granite, and the pendant lights over the island are simply stunning; Hall in rear leads to powder room, laundry room with front-loading washer and dryer, then exit to rear fenced patio and garden beds. 2nd floor; One goes up the elegant staircase to carpeted 2nd floor with front bedroom (currently used as sitting room), Hall bath with jacuzzi tub and ceramic tile; Main bedroom suite that rivals any other for size, light and amenities. 3rd floor: 3 good-sized bedrooms with closets and full hall bath with ceramic tile and shower over tub. Basement: Full, finished with ceramic tile floor, recessed lighting, reserving separate spaces for gas HVAC (2019), gas hot water heater (2019), 200 AMP circuit breaker electric service. 449 West Hansberry Street is located in Southwest Germantown, just a 10-15 minute drive to Center City or 2 blocks to the Queen Lane Station of the Chestnut Hill West commuter train line, in a neighborhood with a variety of places of worship, schools and public transportation. Here's what the sellers had to say: "The fenced backyard has been a great treat. It's patio is ready for cookouts anytime. Parking is really easy on the street. We love how easy it is to get to Route 1 and go anywhere we want in minutes. And I love, love, love the jacuzzi tub! We've found that the house is on a hill, so the front views out the windows are always of nature, especially since the Germantown Cricket Club's lawns and green landscape is across the street." Easy to show. Quick settlement possible. Showings start Tuesday June 15th!
