About This Home
As of December 2024Welcome to the "Laughing Orange" residence, located Top of the Hill, just a leisurely stroll away from Germantown Ave, Pastorious Park, and the vibrant offerings of Chestnut Hill. Designed by prominent architect William McDowell Jr this home employs a modern, simple, and straightforward style putting function first.
Meticulously maintained, this home boasts 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 2 powder rooms. The main level features a generously proportioned eat-in kitchen with a wet bar, complemented by a convenient powder room, seamlessly flowing into the open-concept sun-filled living and dining areas. Slide open the glass doors to access either the Graver's Lane side balcony, offering autumn views of the "burning bush," or the side patio leading to an expansive garden adorned with grape hyacinths and forsythias. The eco-friendly garden was deliberately landscaped for both privacy and aesthetic appeal, the space promises serene moments amidst low-maintenance greenery.
Ascending to the upper level reveals 3 ample bedrooms, including a primary suite with its own en-suite bath, supplemented by an additional full hall bathroom. Descend to the fully finished basement, where additional living space awaits alongside ample storage solutions, a convenient laundry room equipped with washer and dryer, and yet another powder room. Step outside through the walk-out basement to access the rear and side yards, seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor living.
Parking is a breeze with your very own detached one-car garage with enough space to accommodate an SUV with ample room for extra storage. Situated just steps away from the Septa Chestnut Hill West, Highland, and St. Martins Stations, commuting is convenient and hassle-free.
This extraordinary property boasts an extra-wide lot, offering over 11,000 square feet of land, providing ample space for outdoor recreation, gardening, and entertaining. Experience the allure of this remarkable property firsthand. Schedule your viewing today and make "Laughing Orange" your new home!
