Property Description
The Joseph H. Kenworthy House, a 3 bed, 3.5 bath Tudor Revival built circa 1920 and known locally as “The Great Gatsby House”, is a jewel of a home lovingly restored by its current owners and perched neatly on top of a hill on Green Lane in Manayunk. From the original carved wood front door to the L-shaped porch to the 3 story grand staircase, 346 Green Lane exudes elegance and charm in every room, and the views from each floor are spectacular. The basement level provides further unique details, with a wet bar, wine cellar, and the original walk-in safe.
The grounds feature mature plantings that have been maintained year-round. Perennials, a vegetable garden, and a fig tree create a lush oasis. Current owners removed a third of the yard area to install private 4 car parking in smart red pavers to complement the brick trim. Close to farmer's markets, parks, dog parks, and biking/walking trails, and within a 10 minute drive to many public and private schools, including Merion-Mercy Academy, Friends Central, Penn Charter, and Germantown Friends.
The house also includes a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, bi-level apartment with its own private entrance. This apartment rents well. There has never been a vacancy. The current tenant has excellent rental payment history and is on a 60 day month to month lease. There is a City of Philadelphia of Philadelphia Rental License and Lead Safe Certification in place.
Every window in the house has the original leaded glass. 38 storm windows and 2 of the 3 gas boilers have been replaced during the current ownership. The home is lead safe certified, including the apartment. Home is not on the historic register. Full list of home features is available. Seller is a real estate licensee.
Local Historian John Charles Manton calls 346 Green Lane "truly a house worth preserving for future generations to come if not for its architectural style alone." The Joseph H Kenworthy House was originally built as an 8 bedroom, 5.5 bath single family home. Skillful renovations transformed the house into a 3 bedroom, 3,5 bath Main Residence, with a 2 bedroom, 2 bath bi-level apartment sitting at the rear of the home which easily can be returned to its original form.
