Full 10-year tax abatement (very low taxes). Designed by the renowned C2 Architecture, this custom built 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home with Parking offers multiple outdoor spaces (cobblestone patio, rear patio, two large roof patios, including one that measures 25’x20’). Natural finish, random width solid oak floors throughout. Dynamic 25’ x 32' first floor living space with 15’+ ceilings, refurbished exposed beams with their original chains, exposed ducts, and reclaimed pine slatted wall enveloping the staircase. Huge windows and skylights for superb and balanced natural light throughout. Curated finishes and fine custom millwork. The Reform Basis Design cabinetry is "the essence of purity and streamlined design." Adjustable, industrial style cord lighting compliments the 4” recessed lights. Kolbe window and solid core doors. Three large bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, ceiling fans, and nice closets. Two with en-suite bath. Ample storage throughout. Red hot neighborhood. Easy walk to Maker Artisan Pizza, Uncle Bobbie’s Coffee & Books, Germantown Espresso Bar, and the Germantown Friends School. Less than one block walk to Howell Park and nearby Vernon Park, Fernhill Park, and Cloverly Park. Quick drive to Center City, East Falls, Manayunk, Mount Airy & Chestnut Hill, the Wissahickon trails, and so much more. NOTE on the block: the Jos E McGuirk Son Moving Building is a residential adaptive reuse of "one of Germantown's oldest" moving and storage companies. In fact, the entire south side of the block is residential, save the commercial lot on the corner of Greene. The vacant lot on the SW corner of Queen and Germantown is slated for residential multi-family. And the north side of the block includes the Boys Club playground (currently being renovated) and parking lot, and the historic Trinity Lutheran Church and cemetery. And Grumblethorpe is at the head of the block across Germantown.
