1620 Germantown Ave

Philadelphia, PA 19122

Welcome to Germantown Place - a cluster of 20 Condominiums on the 1600 block of Germantown Ave in Old Kensington. This is your opportunity to grab a new construction duplex to live in one and rent the other or pick it up to add to the portfolio. New construction going up all around this property and when that happens typically the appreciation values increase exponentially. So, do yourself a favor and come check this one out in person. We start off our building tour with the garden level apartment 1 by entering the front door and into the first floor living room space with high 9' ceilings and huge windows to allow a flood of natural light into the space. Next we check out the kitchen with all custom hand crafted cabinetry designed and installed by a local craftsman who put much thought into the layout to maximize storage and function. The kitchen highlights SS Appliances, Marble Quartz Countertops and Tall Cabinetry. Next we pass through the kitchen and down the first floor hallway and we come across the first floor full modern style bathroom with large standup shower in which you'll want to spend hours. Behind the first floor bathroom is the first of two bedrooms complete with large closet for tons of storage and access to the rear outdoor patio where one can stage a table and chair set and grill for some outdoor entertaining or relaxation. After spending some time in the fresh air it's time to come back inside so that we can continue our tour in the lower level. At the bottom of the staircase is where we'll discover the utility closet and additional storage area; beside the utility closet is the second full bathroom that is identical to the first floor bathroom with modern finishes and oversized shower stall. As we continue down the hallway we will come across a second living room area in the basement that will allow you to have a second flex space with cable hookups for movies, gaming, office or reading area. The final room in the rear of the basement is the second and final bedroom space with walk in closets and egress window that brings a lot of natural light into the room. We are estimating a monthly rental of approx. $2,000 on the first floor apartment. Now, let's go check out the penthouse apartment. Back in the vestibule at the main entrance to the building the doorway to the penthouse is straight ahead of you and so we open it and climb the first set of stairs that land you at another hand crafted and beautiful kitchen with SS Appliances, Quartz Countertops and Tall Cabinetry for maximum storage capabilities. Just on the other side of the kitchen is an area that we have set up as the living room area. The builder has included two in ceiling bluetooth speakers that can connect with any bluetooth enabled devices so that you can play your podcasts and music for background amusement during a get together or listen to your favorite audiobook. As we back track through the kitchen we pass by the powder room and find the dining room area that can easily fit a 6 person table within so when you're hosting a get together you have plenty of room for everyone at the table. So, now let's go up the second staircase to the bedroom level which is designed perfectly for a roommate, guests or separating your office from the rest of your living spaces. It has been designed with a bedroom suite in the front and a bedroom suite in the rear, meaning both bedrooms have full bathrooms within them to allow for maximum privacy. In the hallway is where you'll discover the side by side laundry room and linen closet. Finally, the penthouse has sole access to the roof top deck where you'll be able to soak in the 360 degree views including the CC Skyline and Benjamin Franklin Bridge. Anticipated rental is $2,250 The location is within walking distance to: City Fitness Gym, Sunflower Event and Festival Venue, Fishtown Front St Restaurant Row, Berks St El Station or Girard Ave El Station, ACME Grocery, PetCo and the Piazza in Northern Liberties.
