Step back in time—without sacrificing modern comfort—in this remarkable ca.1866-built home, steeped in local history and architectural character. The Gothic Revival and Italianate style house was built as part of the development of the Chew Estate, where the Battle of Germantown took place during the American Revolution. In fact, the house sits on one of the "Battleground Lots". The first owner was Catherine Price, who was a "Dunker," a moniker for adult baptism in the Church of the Brethren. The second owner was Samuel Harting, an important local builder, bought the house in the early 1900s, at which time he made his mark with a sweeping renovation that brought the house into the modern age of its time. He even constructed the striking brick building next door as his personal office—a decorative gem designed to showcase his craftsmanship. Today, the home still stands as a testament to quality and care across centuries. Cross the wide front porch and enter through the original front door into a gracious formal foyer. To the right, a massive front parlor welcomes you with soaring ceilings and an original gilt mirror that’s seen generations pass through its reflection. Across the foyer, the dining room lies just ahead, accented with built-in cabinetry that feels both timeless and intentional. Antique oak floors run throughout the first and second floors, grounding the home with warmth and history. In the rear of the home, you’ll find a smartly updated kitchen, a convenient powder room, and a laundry room with first-floor access—offering 21st-century ease within a 19th-century shell. Upstairs, the second floor features four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. One bath retains its antique soul, boasting original tile work and mirrors, while the other—a sprawling, luxurious space—anchors the primary suite. The third floor offers two more spacious bedrooms and a massive storage closet, easily adaptable to your needs. The home has been thoughtfully maintained, with major updates where they count, including a new main roof in 2021 and central air throughout. An easement provides access for off-street parking via the neighboring driveway (currently unpaved)—simply drive through to park in the backyard, where the original carriage house still stands. The carriage house has its own deed and is available for purchase in addition to the main residence, offering exciting possibilities for studio space, guest quarters, or future development. This is not just a home—it’s a piece of Germantown’s living history, lovingly updated and ready for its next steward. Please note listing agent has a financial interest in this property.
