Welcome to this charming home in historic Germantown, a true testament to family heritage as it has been owned by the same family for over seven decades. This "granny gem" exudes original character and timeless charm at every turn. With loads of original details, two enclosed porches, central air, replacement windows, a finished basement and plenty of storage.
As you approach, you'll be greeted by a classic brick facade and a sweet enclosed sun porch adorned with glass windows and screens, perfect for enjoying the changing seasons. Step inside the decorative front door, and you'll be delighted by the spacious living room that flows seamlessly into a formal dining room, complete with a handy storage closet. The retro kitchen offers ample room for a dining table, extra cabinet space, a double wall oven, vent hood, and a dishwasher. Beyond the quaint kitchen, you'll find the second enclosed porch that leads to a rear deck and backyard space.
Venture upstairs, where an ornate wooden banister leads to the second floor. Here, you'll discover three generously sized bedrooms, each bathed in natural light and boasting ample closet space. There's also a roomy linen closet and timeless hall bathroom which features a large bathtub, ceramic tile, vintage vanity, lucite towel bar, and glass shelves. There's an abundance of storage options in the finished basement from closets to the under-the-stairs storage nook. There's a conveniently located powder room, laundry room with a sizable utility sink, egress to the back yard, and storage room beyond. Plus the added comfort of a French drain and sump pump.
