Property Description

A perfect blend of city/country, old/new, and traditional/informal mark this magical home and its beautiful secluded gardens in the midst of a highly desirable Chestnut Hill neighborhood. Location, location, location: a few minutes walk to an urban village, or the glories of Wissahickon Park, or a choice of two train lines to Center City. French windows, a bay window seat, and a fireplace mark a generous and lovely living room dating from 1876. Wood floors lead to a gracious dining room and a cozy library with a downstairs powder room. The house then incorporates a charming, sunny 1990 addition that encompasses a contemporary kitchen, eating area, and family gathering spot. Continuing the first floor's 9 ft. ceilings, the addition features wrap-around windows, a fireplace, and double French doors opening to a deck. The deck overlooks a fenced yard, lower patio, small gated swimming pool and a long vista of neighboring gardens and distant trees. Under the addition, adjacent to a large basement and laundry room, is a two-car garage. On the second floor there are two baths and four bedrooms ( two are presently used as studies) with wood floors throughout. There is a fireplace in one bedroom that has never been used by present owners. A large, inviting window seat graces the front room . The third floor boasts a spacious master bedroom, huge four-piece bath, closet/cedar closet , and multiple windows looking out on greenery. Another third floor bedroom includes a half-bath. The house exudes light, airiness, and warmth and has the added appeal of three split system HVAC units (2009-2011) providing air to most of the house. You cannot reproduce the charm and character of this special home. Long settlement necessary.
