Property Description
The main level features generous, flexible living spaces with high ceilings, crown molding, and handsome built-in shelving. The standout kitchen is truly one of a kind, combining rustic wood cabinetry, exposed ceiling beams, stainless-steel appliances, and expansive bay windows that flood the room with natural light. Built-in window seating creates a welcoming spot for morning coffee, casual meals, or taking in views of the rear garden.
Across the second and third floors are four bedrooms and two full baths, with additional architectural touches including tall windows, built-in storage, and cozy window seats. The flexible layout provides plenty of room for bedrooms, a home office, creative studio, or guest accommodations.
Out back, the garden offers brick pathways, mature plantings, and space for gardening. The covered front porch adds another inviting outdoor area and highlights the home's classic Germantown streetscape.
Located within walking distance of nearby schools, local shops, neighborhood destinations, parks, and public transportation, **56 W Penn Street** offers a rare combination of historic charm, creative design, natural light, and everyday convenience. **Rear lot perpendicular to back yard is deeded separately and not a part of this transaction**
