Description
Every ounce of original charm was not only retained when this right-sized house got all the right upgrades just three years ago, it was enhanced with salvaged, vintage and pitch-perfect repro details throughout. There are original pine floors, high ceilings, just-right light fixtures, Andersen windows and at least one uber-charming element in every room. The main-floor layout provides the best of both worlds–the front living room off the entry hall is a clearly delineated space all its own, while the middle kitchen, rear dining room and back yard flow together for a contemporary open-plan feel. The living room has a decorative fireplace with gorgeous original mantel plus architectural charm from the angled set of front windows. These are a nice complement to the oversized archway with original fretwork spandril. From the hall, another oversized doorway leads to the spacious L-shaped kitchen, where white Shaker-style lower cabinets and pantry let the salvaged beadboard backsplash, statement salvaged upper cabinet and a sweet original closet with glass-paned door shine. White Caesarstone countertops with undermount sink and Grohe pull-down faucet alongside stainless steel appliances, including a slide-in five-burner range and French door fridge, make this space as effortlessly functional as it is warm and stylish. The large dining room has a salvaged butler’s pantry and is flooded with light from two windows and Andersen French doors to the rear patio and lush garden. Back inside, the original staircase that has a peek-a-boo window to the kitchen leads to a rear primary suite, two more spacious bedrooms and a hall bath. The primary bedroom with a large double closet offers a peaceful view of the rear garden; its en-suite bathroom has a marble herringbone tile floor, clawfoot tub with full-wall subway tile surround, and salvaged beadboard around a vintage-inspired wall-mounted sink with chrome legs. The front bedroom is quite spacious and has a large closet; its charm is found in the square bay window. The middle bedroom is easily big enough for a double bed, if not a queen, and has an extra-deep closet. They share a hall bath with skylight, marble herringbone tile and full-wall subway wall tile, an extra-large step-in shower and pedestal sink flanked by ceramic lights. The exterior has every bit as much charm as the inside: Set behind a front garden, the handsome porchfront’s exterior has a subdued sage green and gray palette that highlights the architectural details, and an unpainted original front door. And as a huge bonus, through the rear gate is an unofficial parking spot and a sweet neighborhood hang space complete with firepit. This great location puts both Germantown and Mount Airy favorites like Weaver’s Way, Ultimo Coffee, Uncle Bobbie’s, and of course access to the Wissahickon, all within a mile of your front door–and the Upsal St Regional Rail station only .3 miles away.Show Description
