About 5234 MORRIS ST

Welcome to 5234 Morris Street in Philadelphia’s historic Germantown neighborhood, where deep roots, historic architecture, and renewed investment are shaping an exciting new chapter for the community.

Situated on the largest residential lot on the block at approximately 45' x 120', the property offers a rare combination of scale, outdoor space, and potential. The deep house is complemented by an oversized side and rear yard, along with an existing curb cut that adds flexibility for future use.

Inside, the home retains an abundance of original character, including rich, deep-brown hardwood floors, substantial original moldings, generously sized bedrooms, and a beautiful central staircase. While the property has experienced deferred maintenance and requires work, these architectural details provide a strong foundation for someone looking to restore and reimagine a substantial Germantown home.

Germantown continues to experience meaningful neighborhood investment and renewed local activity. Parks, neighborhood businesses, SEPTA transportation, and the area's wealth of historic landmarks provide convenient access to both everyday amenities and the character that makes Germantown unique.

5234 Morris Street presents an opportunity to bring new life to a property with exceptional lot size, historic character, and considerable potential.
