This French Empire Mansard style house at 124 West Walnut Lane was built in the late 19th century. This spacious home has 7 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and is set back on a large lot with three patios and various garden beds. A brick potting shed, fishpond and lean-to with an outdoor fireplace are later additions to the original home. The first floor has rooms with 11ft ceilings, crown molding and many windows that have their original working wooden interior shutters. Known as Doctors Row there are several homes in this area of Germantown that were occupied by doctors with consulting rooms that have separate entrances, and 124 has an office at the back of the house. The ornate wrought iron double door guards the front entrance. The 28 ft. long living room has a bay window, fireplace and could house a grand piano easily. The kitchen has a Vulcan stove with cooper hood, and has abundant cherry wood cabinets that blend into a large dining area with a decorative tiled fireplace. Throughout the house are the original floors that are a mix of pine, hardwood, and quarter oak. On the second floor is the primary suite with walk-in closet and full bath. Two other large rooms at the front of the house also have walk-in closets with full tiled hall baths. Beyond the large laundry room, a sleeping porch surrounded with casement windows has been used as a painting studio. The third floor with a large landing has four attic bedrooms and a full bath. One room still plumbed was recently used as a darkroom. On the first floor is a bright sun/breakfast room that leads out to a slate deck designed for outdoor living. Two stone stairways lead to the spacious driveway and gardens, which include a white shade garden, large perennial and rose beds. There are historic plantings from Wyck and Bartram’s Gardens throughout the property along with mature trees that give this house privacy and is an oasis of calm and tranquility. Make this magnificent Germantown Gem your own.
