A formal dining room with original light fixtures feels like a nod to a simpler time. The kitchen has been opened up and is spacious, with a door out to the back of the property - the perfect setup to allow for the easy transfer of groceries from car to home.

A hall bath with a skylight and tub/shower convo rounds out the upstairs living space. The basement is large and dry with ample space for storage. It could easily be finished and accommodate a gym, office, den or other living space. 6421 Chew Ave sits squarely across the street from the ample greenery of Cliveden Park.
