Rare stone Victorian opportunity in historic Fort Washington, PA! So many possibilities! Built in the 1800s and situated on a quiet corner lot, this Mansard roof Victorian pairs original Second Empire architecture with an expansive, 2 level addition. Ideally located in the highly desirable Upper Dublin School District, this home is also conveniently close to the Fort Washington Office Park and Septa train station. This home presents an amazing blank canvas that’s ready and waiting for your ideas and improvements! Multiple spaces are readily adaptable for home office/business, fitness, play room, or game room, limited by only your own vision and imagination! The first floor front rooms feature an elegant entry staircase, 9’ ceilings, large bay window, and built-in bookcases. The modernized (2007) kitchen is centrally located, surrounded by 4 new/expanded rooms off the original design. The spacious laundry/utility room includes a ½ bath and additional closets. The back rooms contain a wood-burning stove and built-in cabinets/shelves and offer an ideal spot for a home office or first floor bedroom. The large, sturdy deck was rebuilt in 2020-21. The 4 room basement affords one of the most unique home experiences around, and includes your very own indoor fountain! The recently renovated (carpet, lighting) front room is a dream location for adults and children alike, featuring recessed stone walls and beautiful wood beams! The utility/work room is segregated, while 2 additional rooms offer incredible opportunities for business, storage, fitness, etc.! The second floor has 3 rooms plus a full bath, and includes vintage floor/wall tile and updated lighting in the bathroom. The partially finished 3rd level has 2.5 rooms and it’s own full bath.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
