Check out this Germantown gem! If you're looking for more space, beautiful architectural details, and a big yard for kids, dogs, or gardening, this nearly 2000-square-foot twin could be the one. Located in the historic and welcoming Germantown neighborhood, it features original details like hardwood floors, leaded glass windows, a charming hearth, and classic banisters. Recently renovated in 2018/19, updates include new electrical, heating, roof, windows, and hot water heater, as well as kitchen and bathroom renovations, seamlessly blending new with old. Relax on your front porch, overlooking a garden filled with perennials like daffodils, hellebores, peonies, and lavender. Step through the grand front door, passing the vestibule, and into a spacious living room. With high ceilings, bay windows, and newly finished floors the entire ground floor exudes warmth and light. Moving towards the back, you pass through a formal dining room and into a well-equipped eat-in kitchen with a large island and stainless steel appliances. And at the rear you will find a pantry and the cutest of powder rooms. A handsome staircase will take you up to the second floor which offers four bedrooms and a large bathroom. Outstanding features on this floor include an enormous primary bedroom with east facing bay window, abundant closets in bedrooms and hallway, and a spacious bathroom with a wide vanity, glass brick, and an over-sized shower. Basements aren't always worth mentioning, but not the case here. The stairs leading down have been widened and rebuilt for easier access, making this basement, with its depth/height, primed for conversion to a flex space, den, playroom, or office. And finally, for all you homesteaders out there, this yard is extraordinary! Many fruit bearing plants are well established, including fig trees, juneberry, blackberry, raspberry and elderberry bushes. Imagine the surprises that will come with Spring. 521 E Tulpehocken is located within minutes of downtown Mt Airy, Wissahickon Park, and businesses like Uncle Bobbies, Young Americans, Ultimo, Quintessence Theater, Attic Brewery, and so much more.
