Stunning, Restored Victorian in The Tulpehocken Station Historic District of Germantown flooded in natural light and charm! Built circa 1870, possibly by carpenter John H. Wellensiek, this home was moved in 1917 to accommodate the widening of McCallum Street, once a narrow cul-de-sac. The current owners have lovingly restored this home with modern conveniences and elegant finishes, while meticulously maintaining its original integrity. This grand 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath detached gem sits on an expansive corner lot and features front and side porches, an enclosed backyard, garage & driveway parking and original pine hardwood floors throughout. There’s additional living space in the carriage house apartment, boasting a charming kitchen, full bathroom, new baseboard heating, keyless entry and its own tree-top terrace. This studio apartment, as well as the 3 heated garage bays, has generated both rental and AirBnb income for present and previous owners. With the potential for multiple living spaces, this home offers tremendous versatility and breathing room. Enjoy lush landscaping from mature trees to the established perennial gardens with peonies, English roses, hydrangeas, lavender, yarrow, echinacea and more… Inside, lovely crown moldings and high ceilings highlight the majestic staircases and ornate banisters leading to the second and third floors.
