About this home
Townhouse · Built 1920 · Historic
Beautifully renovated Germantown residence tucked on a quiet residential block, the property sits just minutes from La Salle University, SEPTA Regional Rail, Roosevelt Boulevard, and the rapidly evolving West Germantown retail corridor. The surrounding area continues to benefit from the wave of investment centered around Wayne Junction, home to Attic Brewery, Deke’s BBQ, Merzbacher’s Bakery, and a growing mix of creative commercial uses. The home features central air, hardwood flooring, and a recently updated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. A rear yard, first-floor powder room, full basement with laundry, two well-proportioned bedrooms, and a stylishly tiled hall bath round out the layout. Offered as a turnkey investment or an excellent starter home for an owner-occupant—this property delivers both stability and long-term potential. Showings require at least 24 hours’ notice.
