Description
This circa 1900 home has great bones, preserved architectural details, and a comfortable layout. Patinaed original hardwood floors with delicate walnut trim, arched doorways, and thick molding and trim work harken to a simpler time and evoke feelings of nostalgia. The sun-drenched living room brings classic simplicity and design-sensitive renovations with plenty of bohemian rustic charm. The dining room is spacious and perfect for hosting a large dinner party and opens to the delightful kitchen featuring butcher block countertops, open shelving, and loads of vintage charm and farmhouse aesthetic. A convenient powder room rounds out the floor.
On the second and third floors, find five spacious and sunny bedrooms with hardwood floors and a renovated full bath boasting classic white subway tile, a pedestal sink, a laundry closet, and retro-inspired black and white tile floor. The basement is unfinished and offers dry storage.
The crowning jewel is the wonderfully lush backyard with gated alley access. The spectacular grounds feature a canopy of mature trees, serene gardens, and plenty of room to host a large housewarming party.
5835 Wissahickon Avenue is centrally located to several outstanding schools including Germantown Friends, Waldorf and Penn Charter. Enjoy a stroll through the park directly across the street, coffee at Ultimo or Papertrail Bike Café located within historic Rittenhouse Town, and find healthful and local grocery shopping at nearby Weaver’s Way Co-Op and A&N Produce. On cobblestoned Germantown Avenue, Germantown’s bustling commercial corridor, find Uncle Bobbie’s Coffee and Books, Young American Hard Cider Tasting Room, and The Frosted Fox Cake Shop.
