424 W Price St

Philadelphia, PA 19144

Welcome to 424 W Price Street: A historic and magnificent Victorian home filled with preserved architectural details as designed by the firm of Hazelhurst and Huckle back in 1887. 424 W Price Street boasts over 4,000 square feet of stately living space on a prime lot on a wide, quiet, and tree-lined street in beautiful West Germantown. A brick herringbone path leads to an impressive curved stone archway and to the home's front Dutch door which opens to the light-filled turret room with leaded glass windows and stunning original woodwork from the built-in sitting bench to the grand staircase. The main floor features a large living room with wood burning stove; a large expanded custom kitchen with marble, soapstone, and butcher block counters and six burner Viking professional stove with two ovens and grill top; formal dining room with mahogany mantel and tongue and groove wainscoting; sun room with rustic brick floor, plank wood ceiling, walls of windows and large French doors providing access to the side lawn; family room with built-in Victorian dresser, back staircase, and access to the rear patio; and a conveniently located half bath for guests with antique marble sink top and additional built-in dresser. The second floor houses three of the five bedrooms as well as a second floor parlor which could serve as a home office or study, living or exercise space, or additional bedroom if needed. The large, main bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower and walk-in closet with stacked Bosch washer and dryer and a beautiful decorative fireplace; the second bedroom has a lovely window seat and built-in bookcases and shares the second full bath with the third bedroom with fireplace. The third floor houses the fourth and fifth bedrooms as well as a large walk-in storage closet. The grounds are a treasure trove of unexpected findings: a koi pond, chicken coop (currently unoccupied), bricked patio with gardening shelves, wrought iron fenced side yard for pets, entertaining, or play, and elaborate but easily maintained gardens showcasing a variety of historically-accurate indigenous flora(the property was previously owned by a historical horticulturalist). Truly a gem, 424 W Price will be sure to delight those with an eye and an appreciation for classic American architecture.
