Germantown home has charm and potential for $230K

A 1920s Germantown home that offers a lot of charm in its original architectural details just came on the market asking $230,000.

The five-bed, two-bath place on 222 West Rittenhouse Street opens to a living room with high ceilings, a decorative fireplace, and a bay window. Farther into the first floor, there’s a kitchen with a deep farmhouse sink, hardwood floors (albeit worn from years of use) and a sizable back yard.

The bedrooms sit on the second and third floors, along with a bath that features an exposed brick wall.

“With a little elbow grease and some sweat equity, this could be a truly grand and elegant residence,” says the listing for the spot, which is being shown by Kristin McFeely of Compass.
