Energy efficient new windows. New Ductless Air Conditioning! All included in one of the most alluring single homes to come on the market in a long time. All is couched in the warmth and character of 19th century Germantown: high ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, warm random-width pine floors, crown moldings, stained glass. This unique 3-story farmhouse offers 4 spacious bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths. First Floor: the original covered front porch; entry foyer (that keeps cold air from coming into the rest of the house!) ; living room with fireplace; formal dining room with exquisite antique framed mirror covering one wall and giving one pause to wonder what stories it could tell from the last 136 years; new powder room; new (4 yrs old) eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, refrigerator, dishwasher, deep stainless steel sink, garbage disposal, microwave, high-end gas stove and oven that vent to the outside, abundant counters and cabinets, ceramic tile floor; door to covered re-built wrap-around back porch with storage shed at one end that is big enough for bikes or garden tools. Second Floor: two big bedrooms with ceiling fans; giant walk-in closet; luxurious over-sized bathroom with whirlpool tub, large glass-doored shower stall, ceiling fan, sink cabinet with corian counters, stained glass transom over the door. Third Floor: two more big bedrooms with ceiling fans and good closets. These bedrooms are particularly bright with natural light and the front bedroom includes a large comfy sofa! Several DUCTLESS AIR CONDITIONING UNITS (split systems) are positioned artfully and efficiently through the house. Full clean basement: unfinished with high ceilings for utilities, storage, laundry hook-ups, and work areas. Gas-fired boiler is 8 years old. Two gas-fired hot water heaters provide more than enough hot water! 100 AMP circuit breaker electric panel. And brand new main roof! with 12 year guarantee! One more treat: This property offers a wonderful fully fenced yard in the rear. In one corner is an old barn/garage that has any number of possible uses. It has a big double garage door as well as a regular door. It has stairs that lead to a loft. It is old and it needs work, but it is structurally sound. The current owners use it for storage, and it will be conveyed "as-is", however one might think of it as a future studio, work space, play space, garage? 121 West Penn Street sits in the heart of the historic Penn-Knox community of Germantown on a quiet one-way street. Germantown shops, Uncle Bobbies Book Store and Cafe, great schools, the Germantown White House, and a variety of places of worship are all nearby. Bus and commuter train public transportation are steps away. Seller offers FREE HOME WARRANTY to buyer. This property is easy to show, and the settlement date is flexible.
