About This Home

As of March 2016

This lovely light-filled home offers the very best of Chestnut Hill living at a reasonable price! Highly desirable block is quiet, but is just a block away from the heart of restaurants and shopping on Germantown Avenue. Just around the corner from the Regional Rail line and a Septa bus line make for an easy commute to Center City. The sunny enclosed porch welcomes you into an open floor plan living/dining room with lovely inlaid hardwood floors and tons of character including built-in bookshelves, crown moldings and chair rail moldings. The renovated kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, solid wood cabinetry and tile flooring and opens onto a wood deck that is just perfect for dining al fresco. In addition there is a spacious EP Henry paved patio surrounded by blooms in the warmer seasons. A great finished basement offers a lot of additional living space and a great family room, play room, or a guest room. Also offers a half bath, laundry room, and additional storage space. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms including a spacious front master bedroom with a walk-in closet and a full bathroom with a skylight to let in extra light. Here is your opportunity to experience the very best of Philadelphia living, in a neighborhood that offers the walkability of the best neighborhoods in Center City with green space and peace and quiet you normally would only find outside of the city. Easy access to Wissahickon Park with its miles of hiking and biking trails. Many recent upgrades include new roof (flat roof 2015, shingles 2009), hot water heater (2012), boiler (2009), newly finished basement (2011), new refrigerator (2012), and brand new washer and dryer (2015). You can see a complete list with sellers disclosure. This is a sweet home in a truly fantastic location that you won't want to miss!
