Classic 1925 stone construction with timeless character and charm! Welcome to 7435 Germantown Avenue, a stately 4-bedroom, 2-full-bath rowhome awaiting its next chapter.
Set back from the road, the home welcomes you with a charming front porch—the perfect spot to relax on the porch swing and enjoy views of the lovely open space across the way. Parking is convenient, with street parking along Germantown Avenue as well as two off-street parking spaces accessed from the rear alley.
Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the home's original hardwood flooring and wonderful period details. The living room is anchored by a handsome Chestnut Hill schist stone fireplace flanked by custom built-in shelving, creating a warm and inviting focal point. The living space flows naturally into the dining room and then to the galley-style kitchen, where a custom-patterned Italian ceramic tile floor adds a distinctive touch. The refrigerator and dishwasher were replaced in 2023.
Just beyond the kitchen, step outside onto the rear deck overlooking a deep, lush, and fenced backyard—a wonderful outdoor extension of the home. At the rear of the property, you'll also find the two off-street parking spaces with alley access.
Back inside, continue to the second floor, where you'll find a full bathroom featuring original white subway tile and a tub/shower combination. This level includes a generously sized bedroom as well as the spacious primary bedroom, which was originally configured as two separate rooms and offers an impressive amount of space.
One more flight brings you to the third floor, featuring two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom complete with a classic clawfoot tub.
The full basement provides laundry facilities and plenty of additional storage. Important updates include upgraded 200-amp electrical service in 2024 and a new water heater in 2022. There's a potential for another powder room in the basement.
With its classic stone construction, original architectural details, flexible living space, deep fenced yard and off-street parking, 7435 Germantown Avenue offers a wonderful opportunity to bring new life to a home filled with character. The owners prefer to sell the property in as-is condition.
Walking distance to both Chestnut Hill train lines (R7 and R8) and all the charming shopping and dining in Chestnut Hill and West Mt Airy! Or take a stroll on the nearby Cresheim Trail! Come take a look, imagine the possibilities and envision the next chapter for this distinctive stone home!
