46 E Johnson St Philadelphia, PA 19144

This 5 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, 3,300 + sq/ft Victorian twin, in a very historical area of Germantown is absolutely stunning! It was originally built by Samuel Harting (a well renowned architect in Germantown at the time, whose home, office and stables were next door at what is now 20 E Johnson) for his daughter Eva in 1905. The reverence the current builders have for this property is evident as soon as you step foot in the door. It has been fully renovated, while preserving the original details that made the grand homes from this era so special. You will be greeted by a wraparound covered front porch with the original shutters on the windows, and parking for two cars out front. Entry is through the foyer with its ornate woodwork, built in bench and parquet floors with inlays. The original wood floors throughout the home have been lovingly restored and refinished (as well as the doors and hardware on the first and second floor). A living room with a wood burning fireplace sits off to the left. To the right there is a large and sunny open concept dining area and kitchen. The dining area has multiple built-ins, a chandelier and exposed ceiling beams with a large peninsula in the kitchen that separates the two spaces. The modern and unique kitchen is really remarkable, composed of flush front matte black cabinetry with brass hardware and black quartz countertops with white veining. A 36" brass farmhouse sink sits under a large picture window. A white 36" Ilve range with brass trim nods at the historic nature of the home, with white picket tile running up to the ceiling behind it. A large pantry houses a 48" Samsung Bespoke refrigerator in opaque white glass. A convenient mudroom with a hall tree and a half bath sit right behind the kitchen and lead out to a small back porch backyard. A built in with reclaimed wood from Bucks County greets you as you head up to the second floor. It houses three bedrooms, two full baths and a laundry room with a laundry chute leading from the master bedroom. The third floor is home to an impressive and large master suite. Not a single detail has been overlooked. The ceiling has been raised in the bedroom area and the original beams are exposed. A nook has been outfitted with a vanity and mirror. Pendant lights have been installed to flank either side of a king sized bed. The laundry chute, a wet bar and a closet that is over 14 feet long sit in the area between the bedroom and master bath. The large balcony off of the master is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the view of the Cliveden, a historic mansion turned museum, located directly across the street. The very modern master bath is practically a spa! It entails an 84" double vanity, huge beautifully tiled shower with a rain shower head and glass surround, a deck tub surrounded in quartz, wall mounted toilet and bluetooth speaker system. The 5th bedroom is located on the 3rd floor behind the master and would function well as a nursery or home office. This house comes with a bonus- a 1,000+ square foot semi-finished basement, with a drywalled ceiling with recessed lights, sealed concrete floors and dry-locked walls. There is plenty of natural light and this space would work well as a playroom, office space, exercise room, or all 3! This home has all new electric, plumbing and HVAC, it really is one of a kind and the perfect mix of original details and modern amenities. Ten year tax abatement pending.
