Property Description

Welcome to 311-313 W Duval St, where history and grandeur converge in the heart of Germantown/Mt. Airy, Philadelphia. This exceptional carriage house graces a double lot, providing a haven of space and tranquility amidst the city's bustle.

As you approach, a captivating historic Wissahickon schist stone wall leads the way to a driveway with a charming circular layout—an exclusive feature that enhances the property's appeal. Distinguished by its slate roof, brick facade, dormers, and rich heritage, the exterior exudes character and timelessness.

Step inside, and you'll discover an open and inviting layout marked by soaring ceilings on the first floor, accentuated by exposed beams that evoke an air of grandeur. A wood-burning stove infuses warmth and cozy ambiance, making it an ideal space for gatherings. The double-height ceilings in the living/entertaining area create a dramatic focal point, directing your gaze to the expansive sky views framed by towering windows. The home harmoniously blends its original early 1900s architectural details with modern living.

This exceptional residence offers two bedrooms, an office, and multiple closets/storage rooms, ensuring both comfort and practicality. The primary bedroom is a sanctuary of historic charm, bathed in abundant natural light and offering breathtaking westward sky views. The second bedroom provides versatility to cater to your needs. Additional rooms on the first floor, including an office, art storage room, and kitchen storage, accommodate work-from-home lifestyles and storage requirements. Ingenious utilization of all spaces, including the dormer roofline, provides ample storage options. Upstairs laundry also adds to the convenience of daily living.

However, what truly distinguishes this property is its unique connection to art and history. The former residence of renowned Philadelphia sculptor Beatrice Fenton, celebrated for her iconic "Children Holding the Sundial" sculpture in Rittenhouse Square, may include her original sculpture stand—a remarkable piece of art history within your own home.

Amidst its serene setting, generous parking, and outdoor oasis, this property stands as a rare urban gem. Embrace the opportunity to own a piece of Philadelphia's past while indulging in modern living.
