Welcome to 417 West School House Lane, one of the most unique properties in Germantown! Built in 1891 by Minerva Parker Nichols, the first woman to operate an independent architecture practice in the US, her talent is evident in the design of the home.
It has been used as two units (though currently just a single family residence), the second and third floor have been tastefully renovated as a self-contained three bedroom apartment keeping the original character of the home intact.
And now for the really exciting part: The first floor is a blank canvas looking for the right person with a vision to transform it into something spectacular. Is it a spacious one bedroom apartment, an artist’s studio, a home office? The possibilities are endless depending on your needs!
From there, enter into into the large shaded backyard, and never have to worry about street parking again with a 3+ car driveway.
Half a mile from Queens Lane train station and less than a mile from William Penn Charter School, Germantown Friends, Pennsylvania School for the Deaf, and the Philadelphia Waldorf School, this house is well situated for Center City commuters and families wanting to live near nature and the Wissahickon without compromising the conveniences of the city.
And don't forget the brand new Chelten Ave Weavers Way Co-op location is less than three blocks away, opening date to be announced.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
GreatSchools scores are based on a scale from 1 to 10, where 10 is above average. The school service areas are not definitive and should only be used as guidance.
Walk Score is the most well-known measure of walkability for any address. It is based on the distance to a variety of nearby services and pedestrian friendliness. Walk Scores range from 0 (Car-Dependent) to 100 (Walker’s Paradise).

The air pollution index is calculated by county or urban area using the past three years data. The index ranks the county or urban area on a scale of 0 (best) - 100 (worst) across the United Sates.
Listing Agents and Buyer’s Agents represent the two sides of a real estate transaction. As a Seller of a home, your Listing Agent represents your interests and will advise, consult and follow your instructions to sell your property at the best possible price and terms.
If you’re a Buyer, a Buyer’s Agent advises you throughout the transaction, helping you get the best deal and advocating for you. The Buyer’s Agent commission is also paid by the Seller, so the Buyer never sees a bill for their service.
Many first time Buyers believe they can work without a Buyer’s Agent and instead use the same agent as the Seller. When both Buyer and Seller use the same agent, known as “dual agency”, it can sometimes save on fees, but it also puts the agent in a conflict of interest, not fully representing either party.
