Welcome to your new home! This charming East Germantown twin is bright, spacious, and airy. Its features include 3 bedrooms, 1.25 bathrooms, a semi-open floor plan with the living room flowing into the dining room, a kitchen with a separate breakfast nook, and a fenced-in back yard – big enough for a vegetable or a flower garden. The master bedroom is ginormous, and includes a walk-in closet with cedar floors, as well as two additional closets. There is plenty of storage space: closets in each bedroom, the dining room, and a closet/pantry in the kitchen, along with a huge unfinished basement. There is also an attached garage, with space for both a car and a workspace. Large capacity washer and dryer – perfect for quilts and comforters. Numerous additional amenities including a working fireplace, and a skylight on the second floor. The home has been lovingly restored and updated. All new wiring replaced the previous knob & tube system. The hardwood floors throughout the house were refinished, highlighting the beautiful original inlay. Fresh paint brightens each room. The 900 block of Rittenhouse is a beautiful, tree-lined street with homes that are well-maintained and neighbors who are friendly and committed to the community. The beautiful Awbury Arboretum is less than two blocks away. Public transportation is easily accessible. Ample parking is available. Shopping, dining, parks, theatres, art galleries, and cultural events all close-by. The best that Northwest Philadelphia has to offer is at your doorstep.
