About This Home

As of May 2023

Bursting with character, this stone cottage in the grounds of the Historic Germantown Society near to the Market Square, dates from the 1860s. The cottage is enclosed in a quiet courtyard and offers on-site parking. The home was tastefully updated in the 1950s by Edwin Brumbaugh, a noted local architect. The first floor comprises a dining room featuring stone fireplace, galley style kitchen with cabinetry and shelving, powder room/utility room with washer and dryer and a bright and cosy living room with storage cabinets. Upstairs, via a wooden staircase is a large bedroom with en suite bathroom and plenty built-in closets for ample storage.
A number of restaurants and cafes are within easy walking distance, Center City is nearby, and the Germantown SEPTA station is a few blocks away. Germantown historic homes and museums are close at hand, including The Deschler-Morris House, Cliveden (Chew Mansion) and Grumblethorpe. The shops and restaurants of Chestnut Hill, East Falls, Mount Airy and Manayunk as well as the beautiful Wissahickon Valley trails are a short drive away.

The cottage is close to Drexel College of Medicine, Jefferson University, Germantown School for the Deaf and Germantown Friends School. Showings available from Monday April 24. June 1 lease date (or sooner) is preferred.
