Welcome to 851 E Rittenhouse St—a modern gem nestled on a quaint block in historic Germantown. Freshly renovated in 2021 and meticulously fine-tuned by its owners, this residence offers more than just move-in readiness—it incorporates a thoughtful design, and outstanding materials, all with modern “smart” functionality. Approach the front walkway framed by towering sunflowers and tasteful outdoor accents, creating an inviting, organic atmosphere. Step inside to discover a luminous sunroom, perfect as a practical mudroom or a sunny retreat for you and your indoor jungle. The ground floor is striking with its seamless flow between living, dining, and cooking spaces—an open concept design anchored by new hardwood floors and bathed in sunlight from southwest-facing windows. The heart of the home, the kitchen, centers around a stunning Calacatta quartz island and boasts top-tier appliances. Smart Lighting and Wi-Fi appliances are installed throughout, giving you control of lights, HVAC, washer, dryer, and more from your phone or voice assistant. Upstairs reveals three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and expansive walk-in closets that indicate thoughtful design over hurried renovations. The primary suite features dual closets, an en suite bath, and ample space for a king-sized bed and nightstands. The finished basement takes advantage of this home’s large footprint, offering a spacious central room, a bedroom/flex space, a full bath, an under-porch storage area, and a laundry room. Outside, a small fenced backyard, with raised beds, rose bushes, and a Japanese maple, is ready for your secret garden dreams. Whether you are driving or using public transportation, a private driveway and 25 minute commute times via Septa make accessibility both convenient and speedy. Located in a charming enclave of East Germantown, 851 E Rittenhouse St is just moments from Awbury Arboretum and Chestnut Hill West regional rail. Enjoy quick access to Wissahickon Park and local favorites like Uncle Bobbie’s, Ultimo, Weavers Way and Attic Brewery.
