Stunning Victorian Restoration in Historic East Germantown
5 Bedrooms | 2.1 Bathrooms | 3,000 Sq. Ft.
Experience the perfect marriage of 19th-century elegance and 21st-century luxury. Situated on an expansive 3,700 sq. ft. lot, this meticulously restored three-story Victorian residence stands as a landmark of craftsmanship in the heart of historic East Germantown. Boasting iconic turrets and roof towers, this home has been completely reimagined from the studs up (2023) to offer a chic, modern lifestyle.
The Main Level: Grandeur Meets Function
The experience begins at the gated entrance, where mature evergreens provide natural privacy leading to an oversized, welcoming front porch. Inside, the residence reveals a bright, open-concept floor plan characterized by soaring ceilings, designer flooring, and an abundance of natural light.
• Living & Entertaining: A formal family room flows seamlessly into a spacious living area anchored by a cozy fireplace.
• Gourmet Kitchen: The chef’s kitchen is a showstopper, featuring high-end stainless steel appliances, luxe quartz countertops, and a massive center island with breakfast bar seating.
• Formal Dining: A dedicated dining room provides the perfect backdrop for large-scale gatherings.
• Convenience: The main floor is rounded out by a stylish powder room and a dedicated laundry suite.
Sophisticated Living Quarters
The upper floors are thoughtfully designed to provide privacy and versatility, connected by two separate staircases (including a convenient rear service stair off the kitchen).
• Second Level: Features three generously sized, sun-drenched bedrooms, a central sitting area, and a designer full bathroom.
• Third Level: Offers two additional expansive bedrooms and a second full bathroom, providing an ideal layout for a multi-generational household or a private primary retreat.
Outdoor Oasis & Potential
Step through the kitchen to your massive private rear deck, perfect for al fresco dining. The deck overlooks a rare, fully fenced, lush grass backyard—a true sanctuary in the city. For those looking to add even more value, the clean, unfinished basement offers limitless potential for a home gym, media room, or workshop.
