A round stone turret, a steep roof and a red front gate: the house at 6227 Baynton St in Philadelphia has a look that stops people scrolling. Built in 1905 in the Germantown area, it is listed at $200,000.
When we checked, Zillow showed 1,473 views and 159 saves. Interest is clear, but this is still an as-is renovation project, not a finished showpiece.

The Turret Is the Hook
From the street, the house is a mix of stone and brick, with a round turret and a conical roof. Exposed stone around the entry and a red wooden gate give it a strong Germantown look. That exterior is the main reason the listing stands out.
The side and rear photos show a white-sided addition, a narrow yard and worn exterior materials. The listing pitches the home as a transformation or contractor project, and those photos match that tone.
Inside: Simple Rooms and Room to Improve
The interior photos show pale walls, light laminate flooring and basic living spaces. A stone-entry vestibule appears in the listing’s description of the home’s character, while the living rooms look more utilitarian than restored.
Zillow lists 7 bedrooms across 2,025 square feet. That is a lot of rooms in a modest footprint, so some spaces may be small. The bath count is unclear: the headline says 2 baths, the marketing text says 2.5, and Facts & Features lists 1 full and 1 half. We are not treating any of those figures as final.
The basement photo shows an unfinished space with stone or brick foundation walls, exposed joists and mechanical equipment. That fits the project-house framing.
As-Is, With Questions to Ask
The listing says the home is sold as-is. Buyers should expect renovation work and should not treat the photos as proof of a turnkey condition. The listing also highlights a detached lot, while Zillow’s lot field shows only 3,296 square feet. Confirm with the agent whether a separate parcel is included and what its size is.
Germantown Character at a Low Price
Germantown is known for stone houses, tree-lined streets and a long history within Philadelphia. A turreted home at $200,000 will always attract attention, especially when the exterior still looks distinctive from the sidewalk. The trade-off is clear from the listing: buyers are paying for potential and architecture, not a finished renovation.
Things to Verify
- The exact bath count (Zillow’s sections disagree)
- Whether a separate detached lot is included, and its size
- The scope of work needed for an as-is purchase
- The condition of the roof, systems and exterior siding
- A full inspection before making an offer
The Bottom Line
At $200,000, 6227 Baynton St offers a photogenic 1905 turreted exterior in Germantown and a low entry price. It is sold as-is, the baths and lot details need confirming, and the interior needs work. For buyers who like old Philadelphia architecture and can handle a project, it is worth a careful look.
