Description
Nestled in charming and historic Mt Airy, this classic row home at 7531 Germantown Avenue offers a delightful blend of original charm and modern enhancements. Set up and back from the avenue, this home boasts sweeping views of lush greenery across the street from the covered front porch. The original curved door opens into the living room with original hardwood floors, an ornamental fireplace, and beautiful archway details, illuminated by a bay window.
The dining room features an arched alcove perfect for a hutch, flanked by two mirrored glass doors--one leading to the basement and the other providing pantry or first-floor closet space. The spacious kitchen was recently renovated, and is a standout for row homes, showcasing abundant cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and elegant quartz countertops. It's large enough to accommodate an eat-in area, offering versatile dining options. Adjacent to the kitchen is a deck ideal for grilling, seating, and container gardening, with steps leading down to a full-sized one-car garage and the parking area out back.
Upstairs you will find three bedrooms, each equipped with closets, ceiling fans, and updated windows. The generous center bathroom features a shower/tub combo, a large linen closet, and retains its original tile details lit cheerfully by a skylight. The larger front bedroom offers serene treetop views of the New Covenant Campus, providing a sense of endless green space without the upkeep. Additional hall closets offer extra linen and pantry storage.
The basement is clean and bright, featuring a gas furnace, water heater, laundry facilities, and ample storage space. The roof was just replaced, and all the knob and tube wiring in the home has been replaced! Conveniently located within walking distance to regional rail, bus lines, and the amenities of lower Chestnut Hill and Mt. Airy, 7531 Germantown Avenue is a property not to be overlooked.
