Property Description
Elegant mid-1920s Cotswold style residence nestled in historic Chestnut Hill retains original character and details while offering the comforts of a modern home. This spacious three story home boasts 5 comfortable bedrooms, 3.5 baths including a newly remodeled master bathroom, upgraded kitchen, original heart-pine flooring, and central air. Enter through the arched front door into the formal living room with wood burning fireplace, oversized mantle and wainscoting detail. Bay windows and window seat are framed by built-in bookcases. Open to the large dining room, this space is perfect for entertaining. The kitchen is a cook's delight offering high end stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, stone and tile backsplash, wood cabinets, and breakfast bar. A splendid family/TV room incorporates solarium windows, skylight, a wall of exposed stone with a passthrough to the kitchen, and access to the front & rear yards as well as the attached 2-car garage. Both the kitchen and family rooms have Mexican terracotta tile flooring. A cozy study with built-in bookcases, and a half bath complete the first floor. On the second floor, the newly renovated master suite features a bedroom that comfortably fits a king size bed, and a separate dressing area. The marble bath has a soaking tub, sizable stall shower, and heated floors. The second bedroom presents ample closet space and built-in shelving, while the third bedroom has a large window seat, two closets and built-in storage. Also on this level is a full bath with oversized stall shower and skylight. The third floor showcases two bedrooms, full bath with clawfoot tub and marble-top vanity. There is plenty of additional storage on this level. The home is also equipped with a full 1100 sq. ft. semi-finished basement with laundry, utility and multiple storage rooms. An added bonus is a 2-car garage with extra parking in the driveway. This home's gracious yard and garden is adorned with several Japanese maple, roses and many other beautiful flowering trees and shrubs. The rear yard also features a slate patio with stone wall for outdoor dining. The property is fenced on all four sides, with a unique brick and stone fence in front of the home, a fantastic architectural detail. Other features include a Wissahickon schist local natural stone exterior on all four sides, striking steep arch gables, and arched doorways inside and out, all adding to the storybook style of this exquisite home.
