Welcome to 144 E. Duval Street, a three story detached home on a warm and welcoming block in Germantown. The front porch is a wonderful place for a swing or a rocking chair so you can enjoy the garden or chat with the friendly, engaged neighbors. As soon as you step inside you'll notice the original pine floors, paned glass French doors, tall moulding, and mix of vintage and modern black hardware, giving the home a modern classic vibe. The entire home has been freshly painted and lightly renovated, while preserving and highlighting its integrity and character. Ornate hinges, vintage doorknobs, and interesting locks and latches add charm and intrigue throughout the home. Through the vestibule's French door you will find a large, light-filled living room (flatscreen TV included). Another matching French door creates a traditional separation (along with privacy and noise reduction) between living and dining. Through the dining room is a fresh and efficient kitchen with timeless white subway tile and stainless steel appliances, as well as the half bath. The laundry room at the rear of the first floor is ample enough to add plenty of mudroom storage, with its access to the concrete patio and large backyard with endless potential (storage shed included). Up the freshly painted stairs, you will find a large airy bedroom with built-in bookshelves and a closet, a smaller bedroom with a chalkboard wall and a closet, and a lovely renovated bathroom with the original cast iron clawfoot tub, reglazed floor tiles, and brand new vanity and toilet. Up another set of freshly painted stairs to the third floor, there are two more large bedrooms, one with north-facing windows, the other with south-facing windows, and each with a closet and ceiling fan. The large unfinished basement has been waterproofed and offers plenty of dry storage. This is the perfect house for realizing your dreams of homeownership and for making meaningful memories that will last forever.
