Tired of pretending your concrete slab is an actual backyard? Is the closest you can get to the word "suburb" a ride to Suburban Station? This classic stone twin in an ideal West Germantown location provides the space, both indoors and out, of a move-up home without having to leave the city. Totally renovated about 10 years ago, this light-filled and spacious house offers more than 2,200 square feet of room to grow into, and the neutral design palette is a blank canvas to bring all your Pinterest boards to life. Throughout the house there are high ceilings, recessed lighting, large windows and creature comforts like central air and a bathroom on every level. The living room is bathed in light from a large window overlooking the porch and a pretty transom over the front door, while a turned staircase provides a natural room divider to get creative with the space: a media room and play space or sitting room and library, perhaps? The current owners even utilized the nook underneath the stairs for a workspace. There is a separate proper dining room with bay window that flows into the large eat-in kitchen featuring honey-colored cabinets, sleek black appliances, ceramic tile flooring and intact original rear staircase to the second floor, at the rear of which sits the serene master suite, featuring a large bedroom, walkthrough dressing room and en-suite bath with ceramic tile tub surround. There are two more spacious bedrooms on this floor and a hall bath. The top floor has three sunny bedrooms with sweet dormer windows, and there's another nicely appointed full bath on this level. Back downstairs through the kitchen there's a convenient main-floor laundry room/mudroom with half bath and access to the rear yard. The paved yard can be enjoyed in any season; there's room for raised planting beds, a grill, even a fire pit to stay warm. Blue Bell Park and Wissahickon Creek are nearby for all your hiking, biking and nature needs. The area's always-expanding food scene is not to be missed, while Regional Rail is super close by when you need a taste of downtown.
