About This Home
As of March 2025Live in the heart of one of Chestnut Hill's most charming and centrally located neighborhoods. This classic Rex Avenue home, featuring 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, offers a formal living room, formal dining room, large kitchen, private study, and a spacious bonus room (ideal as a playroom, additional office, family room, or fifth bedroom) with a full bathroom on the first level.
The second level includes a private primary suite with a full bathroom and large walk-in closet, with three generously sized secondary bedrooms and a full hall bathroom. A fully finished lower level provides expansive space for a playroom, family room, office, or exercise room, plus a full bathroom and access to the side yard.
This large and private property features a front yard set back from Rex Avenue and a serene backyard with a flagstone patio spanning the length of the house, accessible through three sets of sliders from the first floor. The front yard and terraced rear grounds are filled with mature plantings, enhanced by the charm of a quintessential Chestnut Hill Wissahickon schist wall enclosing the entire rear yard. An attached garage and long driveway provide ample off-street parking.
Situated at the “Top of the Hill,” this home is just a short walk to the Chestnut Hill West Train Station and the iconic Germantown Avenue, offering restaurants, boutique shops, and a beautiful branch of the Philadelphia Library. Its proximity to the renowned Wissahickon Valley provides the perfect setting for hiking and outdoor activities.
