About This Home

As of November 2024

Splendid 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home on a spacious corner lot in the PERFECT Chestnut Hill location. Built by John W Graver (c. 1856), this home offers the best of all worlds--one lovely block from the heart of the Avenue, a corner lot with exceptional light and superb privacy, wonderful outdoor space, and a two-car detached GARAGE (with two additional driveway spaces!).

Beautifully renovated and maintained over the years, this corner twin with three wide-open exposures is that right-sized home that is so hard to find in one of Philly’s premier locations. Hardwood Floors throughout. The bright and open eat-in kitchen overlooks the gorgeous rear and side patio and gardens. The capacious living and dining room offers a tasteful stone fireplace. The 2nd floor has a large bedroom and a smaller one, along with a modern hall bath. The 3rd floor encompasses the large primary bedroom and primary bath. Then there is a partially finished lower level as well; plus the clean unfinished space for storage, laundry, and mechanicals. Excellent closet space and storage throughout. Central Air.

This lovely, quiet location is less than 2 blocks from Pastorius Park, an easy walk to the Wissahickon trails, and one block to all that Germantown Avenue has to offer, including Weavers Way Coop, The Fareway, Fresh Market, Cake, Chill on the Hill, Baker Street, Matines Café, Char & Stave, Bredenbeck’s, and SO MANY OTHER shops, cafes, bakeries, and restaurants to enjoy. Plus convenient to Center City, Mt Airy, Manayunk, and multiple suburbs by car and SEPTA (about two blocks to the Chestnut Hill West regional rail). The perfect home in the perfect location.
