Full of natural light and character, this brick twin is situated on a one-way street in West Germantown.
Boasting many capital improvements, this home has been lovingly updated and maintained.
The Cotswold cottage style is charming and quintessential to the 1920s era. A covered front porch with stone pillars welcomes you, while the beautiful green landscaping provides natural privacy.
Here is the floorplan: Enter into a central living space with a wood-burning fireplace flanked by built in bookshelves. A ceiling fan and a coat closet add comfort and convenience. The open plan flows into a sunny dining area with two new energy-efficient windows. A kitchen island offers additional seating and plenty of workspace for the discerning chef! The kitchen boasts a brand new gas cooktop and range, new microwave, a side by side refrigerator with filtered water and an icemaker, a dishwasher and plenty of cabinetry. Enjoy dinners in the garden on the newly laid, Permeable Paver patio. An herb garden and mature plantings provide a lush privacy fence for your entertaining. In 2021, the basement was renovated and outfitted as a sound studio, complete with soundproofing. A half bath with full size laundry was added, along with a storage closet, recessed lighting, electric baseboard heat and a separate HVAC closet. The basement is accessible to the outside through bilco doors.
The second floor has 3 generous-sized rooms, each with ample natural light, original hardwood floors, ceiling fans and some new energy-efficient windows. A full bath with tile flooring, shower over tub, privacy windows and medicine cabinet is located at the end of the hall.
