236 W WINONA ST Philadelphia, PA 19144

This spacious Victorian home located just a few blocks away from Penn Charter and Germantown Friends School provides spacious 19th-century charm with beautiful stained glass windows and a wrap-around oak staircase. This home has been sympathetically restored while being updated for the 21st century. A newly renovated kitchen offers fully custom maple cabinets with tasteful brass accents and imported white macaubas quartzite countertops that form a 10-foot floating waterfall island with a porcelain farmhouse sink complete with brass faucet, and below a custom wine cooler for entertaining. The floating shelves are milled from solid mahogany, while repurposed heart-pine makes ultra-wide plank floors maintaining old home charm. A cozy sunroom provides a breakfast nook bathed with warm morning light overlooking the landscaped backyard. The sunroom is fully insulated and offers warm radiant heat through imported Spanish terracotta flooring, with natural stained pine trim and exposed structural brick. The perfect place for family memories. And for larger occasions, the octagonal dining room is complete with chair rail and picture frame molding to center original stained glass. Just past the entranceway, a spacious living room framed by a true Victorian wrap-around porch kept bright by french doors opening to more outdoor entertainment space. The beautiful fireplace is one of three, and the only one still in operation. Upstairs are six large well-lit rooms. The primary bedroom offers a generous walk-in closet, grand double door entrance, tile, and carved oak fireplace with true plaster crown molding. While the other two bedrooms on the second floor offer flexibility due to their size. An in-law suite on the third floor includes a washer and dryer. The office provides plenty of space to work or even run a whole business from home. Other updates include central air conditioning and heating, new roofing, 400 amp electrical service, two new water heaters, newly renovated bathrooms, and a bricked patio for hosting outdoor parties. This home is one of Germantown's true gems, located five minutes from the train and a quick five-mile drive to Center City. And beyond all the exciting new businesses opening in the area, 236 Winona is close proximity to the Wissahickon trails if you want to enjoy Philadelphia's beautiful nature reserves.
