Speaking of gardening, the soil has been tested and is extremely nutrient rich, the front garden gets full sun and is perfect for growing vegetables: tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans, herbs, and more, with arched trellis to support. There are perennial herbs and flowers growing along the both side of the yard. Don't forget the fruit trees: peach, Juneberry, fig, elderberry, cherry, and grapes. Your very own Germantown homestead awaits! Additionally, big updates include solar panels (paid off at settlement), newer roof (2019), renovated bathrooms and kitchen, new siding, and so much more. With easy access to public transit, shops, parks, and all that Germantown and the NW has to offer, this property is a rare find ready to become home. *Photos available 8/14*
