A chic restoration of a stunning dual-family, approximately 3,000 sq. ft. three-story home sitting on a 3,700 sq. ft. lot. You will adore this beautiful space, just a quick commute into Center City with easy access to the suburbs. Tucked away in the historic East Germantown district, this meticulously renovated Victorian-style home, complete with turrets and roof towers, effortlessly combines traditional charm with modern comforts. Greeting you with a gated entrance surrounded by evergreen trees, leading to the welcoming front porch, you will feel at home from the moment you arrive. Step inside, and you’ll immediately appreciate the soaring ceilings, spacious floor plan, and brand-new flooring, all highlighted by an abundance of natural light. The first level features a separate family room that leads to the inviting living room, complete with a cozy fireplace, perfect for gatherings with friends and family. Additionally, there are two sets of stairs leading to the upper levels: one from the living room and another conveniently located off the kitchen. The large formal dining room and the incredible kitchen boast top-of-the-line stainless-steel appliances, a luxe quartz countertop, and a center island with bonus breakfast bar seating. Convenience is key, with a powder room and a laundry area equipped with a washer and dryer also located on the first level. Just past the kitchen, you’ll find the entrance to your oversized back deck that invites you to pull up a chair or enjoy a meal al fresco while overlooking your lush, fully fenced, and expansive backyard. The upper levels are designed for comfort and privacy, with each featuring its own sitting area and a full bathroom. This thoughtful layout ensures that every member of the household has their own space to relax and unwind. The home boasts a total of five bedrooms and 2.1 baths, with each bedroom being bright and spacious, updated with modern finishes and plenty of natural light. An unfinished basement offers limitless possibilities to become the space of your dreams. This property is ideal for both investors and owner-occupants, currently occupied by a long-term Section 8 tenant, with the lease in place until January 26th. The gross income is $34,800 annually. The house was completely restored in 2023. You don’t want to let this gorgeous home pass you by – call today for your private showing! Felix Portman
