Property Description
Step into timeless charm and modern comfort with this beautifully maintained twin home, designed by renowned architect Minerva Parker Nichols—America's first female solo architect—and proudly featured in the book “Minerva Parker Nichols: The Search for a Forgotten Architect.” This residence is not only a home, but a treasured piece of Philadelphia's architectural history.
From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the home is set back from the street—offering rare privacy in this sought-after block. The welcoming front porch with its classic glider invites relaxation and friendly neighborhood connection. Inside, an enclosed vestibule provides a perfect spot to remove shoes and coats before entering the warmth of the main home. Gorgeous hardwood floors flow throughout, complemented by elegant crown molding and period details.
The spacious living and dining rooms each feature their own gas fireplace, creating an inviting setting for gatherings. The large eat-in kitchen is a cook's dream—complete with new stainless-steel appliances (including gas stove with downdraft, fridge, dishwasher, and washer/dryer), dual sink with garbage disposal, and sliders leading to a rear deck overlooking the fenced backyard. A new AC and gas furnace add year-round comfort.
Upstairs, the second-floor hosts three well-sized bedrooms, a full bath, and a lovely covered porch filled with natural light—an inspiring spot for reading or quiet reflection. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms, another full bath, and a flexible bonus room ideal as an office, playroom, or creative studio. A walk-up attic provides even more storage or potential for expansion.
The full unfinished walkout basement is perfect for a workshop, gym, or additional storage—with easy access to the backyard. The driveway comfortably fits two cars, another feature that sets this home apart.
Located in the heart of Historic West Germantown, you'll enjoy easy access to Thomas Jefferson University, Walnut Lane Golf Club, the regional train, and Weavers Way Co-op. Nearby private schools such as Penn Charter, Germantown Friends, Green Street Friends, and Waldorf Philadelphia are all within walking distance. Outdoor enthusiasts will love Cloverly Park, while Wissahickon Brewing Company—a local favorite for family-friendly food trucks, music, and community events—is just around the corner.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a home where history, character, and modern convenience meet—protected with a 1-year American Home Shield Home Warranty for added peace of mind.
