About This Home

As of January 2015

OWNER REALLY WANTS AN OFFER, NOW!!! City living in country style! Welcome to this Benezet Street gem in the heart of quaint Chestnut Hill. This cozy 5 bedroom stone twin has a large yard with ample flower beds and a private driveway with a two car garage. Steps away from the SEPTA regional rail, this super cute house has an updated kitchen, hardwood floors and a first floor powder room. The mudroom off the kitchen also has a first floor washer and dryer. This wonderful home is that delightful mix of outdoor living with old-world charm and has a raised deck in the backyard. The covered front porch is lovely and the orientation of the home in conjunction with the yard provides great exposure. The second floor is the full bath and two nicely laid out bedrooms. The third floor has two additional bedrooms. This home is incredibly convenient to everything that Chestnut Hill has to offer.
