Property Description

Welcome to Beautiful Germantairy firmly Germantown by address, but part of the Mt. Airy Business Improvement District and Mt. Airy CDC catchment. The 6300 block is a welcoming, diverse mix of small businesses, longtime homeowners, and renters. A unique, unattached single-family home dating as early as 1883, this distinctive fieldstone Victorian offers character, space, and flexibility. Its thick stone walls help naturally moderate temperatures, while abundant windows bring changing light throughout the home. Expanded multiple times over the years, the house has a generous kitchen/dining area that naturally serves as the heart of the home. The current owner has made thoughtful improvements and modernizations, including a tankless hot water heater, heat pump, and mini-splits. Heating and cooling are ample and individually controllable, offering greater comfort and flexibility over operating costs. The homes envelope has also been updated with new roofs and a recently refreshed facade. There are 1.5 baths in the main house. One of the propertys most distinctive features is the attached rear office, offering an unusual opportunity for a homeowner who works from home, runs a business, or wants additional income. Originally added in the 1920s as an upholstery shop, the space is now configured as a professional office with four enclosed offices and two open areas suitable for reception, conference, or shared workspace, along with its own half bath. Use it as your private workspace, creative studio, or professional practice or potentially rent it separately for additional income. Its flexibility allows the next owner to decide how best to make the space work for them. Outside, there is a driveway with room for up to five vehicles, a shed, and a two-car carport a remarkable amount of off-street parking in the city. The property is zoned CMX-2, offering additional long-term flexibility, including potential for an ADU or additional units. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence with the City of Philadelphia regarding permitted uses and future development possibilities. The location is highly walkable and well served by public transit. The property is on the 23 bus line, a short walk to the 71, and approximately a 15-minute walk to Chestnut Hill West regional rail. Weavers Way Co-op is close in either direction toward Germantown or Mt. Airy, while the Wissahickon is an easy bike ride away. A character-filled home with room to live, work, and grow offering the rare bonus of a flexible rear office that can support your own business or generate rental income. Make the property work for your life and your plans, on your own timeline.
