About this home
What’s it like to live in a historic Germantown home with a private garden, fruit trees, and a separate cottage?
It feels like having your own peaceful retreat, right in the heart of Philadelphia.
Welcome to 423 E High St, a beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated Victorian twin in the historic Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, where timeless architecture meets modern comfort and an unmatched urban homestead lifestyle.
Set on a generous lot with a rare private driveway accommodating 3–4 cars, this 6-bedroom, 2-bath home offers over 2,760 square feet of living space, plus a fully insulated 680 sq ft cottage that opens the door to endless possibilities, from a home office to an artist’s studio or private retreat.
Step onto the expansive wraparound porch, now refreshed in soft modern tones, and imagine slow mornings with coffee or relaxed evenings surrounded by greenery. Inside, the home showcases original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and abundant natural light, all enhanced by updated neutral finishes that create a warm, move-in-ready feel while preserving its historic character.
The kitchen is both functional and full of personality, featuring butcher block countertops, heated floor, updated appliances including an induction cooktop, and a central island perfect for gathering, cooking, and entertaining. Just beyond, a renovated full bath with heated flooring and mudroom add convenience for everyday living.
Upstairs, six spacious bedrooms across two levels offer flexibility for families, guests, or work-from-home setups. The second-floor bathroom blends modern updates with classic charm, while large windows throughout the home frame views of the lush gardens surrounding the property.
Out back, the experience becomes truly special. The expansive yard is a gardener’s dream, with nutrient-rich soil, established perennial herbs and flowers, and a collection of mature fruit trees including peach, fig, cherry, elderberry, Juneberry, and grapevines. Whether you envision growing your own food, hosting outdoor dinners, or simply enjoying a quiet escape, this space delivers.
Tucked within the garden, the detached cottage offers a rare bonus space with high ceilings, large windows, and its own wood-burning stove, creating a cozy yet inspiring environment ideal for creative work, remote business use, or a private guest retreat.
Additional upgrades include solar panels, a newer roof (2019), updated electrical systems, and renovated kitchen and baths, offering both efficiency and peace of mind. The home is heated by a gas furnace with radiator heat, combining classic comfort with reliability.
Located just minutes from Wissahickon Valley Park and Awbury Arboretum, and within easy access to two SEPTA regional rail lines, this home offers the perfect balance of nature, convenience, and historic Philadelphia charm.
If you’ve been searching for a Germantown Philadelphia home with land, parking, and flexible living space, this is a rare opportunity to own something truly special....
