Charming 1890 Farmhouse with Original Details and Modern Updates. Originally built to house farmhands of the early Houston Estate, this detached 1890 farmhouse blends historic charm with modern convenience. The inviting front porch, framed by its original decorative iron fence and gate, sets the tone for this unique home. Inside, the living and dining rooms feature beautiful hardwood parquet floors. A convenient powder room is located just off the dining room. At the rear, an updated kitchen provides access to a main-floor laundry room and a large deck—though in need of repairs, so please use caution. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious primary bedroom, an additional bedroom, and a full hall bath. The third floor offers two more cozy rooms tucked under the eaves, perfect for extra bedrooms, a home office, or creative space. The full basement houses the home’s mechanicals and a newer hot water heater. There are also replacement windows throughout. Outside, an oversized garage and a side dirt driveway offer ample parking and storage. Please note that the house is served by an onsite septic system and that the house is being sold As-Is. Located near Wissahickon Park, the Schuylkill Nature Center, and the Andorra Shopping Center, this home is also close to the shops and restaurants of Manayunk, Chestnut Hill, and Roxborough. Schedule your showing today and please don't let the cat out.
