Listing description

Nestled in one of Chestnut Hill's most secluded but convenient locations, this exquisite traditional residence, originally built in 1870 and thoughtfully renovated and expanded offers a harmonious blend of historic charm and modern amenities. Spanning 7,500 square feet on four levels including the finished walk-out daylight basement, this home is designed for both comfort and elegance. As you step inside, you are greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, accentuated by the rich details of the traditional architectural style. The heart of the home features an eat-in kitchen, equipped with a commercial range, dishwasher, and disposal, ensuring that culinary adventures are both enjoyable and effortless. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a family room addition with a terrace overlooking the gardens, while a formal dining room sets the stage for elegant entertaining. The residence boasts five bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite complete with ensuite primary bath. Three fireplaces, beautiful hardwood floors, and a center stair hall anchor the house in timeless tradition. The fully finished basement, with an outside entrance, offers additional versatility, whether as a recreation area, home office, or possible future guest suite. The property is set on a 0.7-acre lot, that feels larger with the size of wooded neighboring properties, and the expanse of Wissahickon Valley Park and Trails envelops this coveted block of Towanda. The semi-circular driveway welcomes residents and guests to enjoy lush and private front, side and rear yards, and a gently sloping landscape adorned with mature trees. This serene outdoor space is perfect for relaxation or entertaining, with ample room for outdoor activities and gatherings. Enjoy the fresh air from the classic wraparound porch, where you can unwind and soak in the beauty of your surroundings. Additional highlights include a security system for peace of mind and a shed and former single-car garage tucked under the house, perfect for gardening, storage, or perhaps a classic car to tinker on someday. This home is not just a residence; it's a lifestyle choice that offers a unique blend of luxury, comfort, and timeless elegance. Experience the best of Chestnut Hill living in this remarkable property.
