About This Home
As of June 2025Welcome to 246 W Evergreen Avenue, where timeless elegance meets modern luxury in the heart of Chestnut Hill. Set on a beautifully landscaped one-third acre lot, this extraordinary 6-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence offers the perfect blend of classic architecture and contemporary upgrades. With super high ceilings throughout, expansive windows, and a distinctive curved wall that captures natural light through sunset, every room feels open, airy, and luminous. Originally commissioned in 1886 by Henry Houston and designed by the renowned Hewitt Brothers, this stately home was one of the first built in West Chestnut Hill and is recognized as “significant” within the Chestnut Hill Historic District Inventory. Constructed of locally sourced Wissahickon schist—a hallmark of Philadelphia architecture—it stands as a testament to enduring craftsmanship and historic charm. Inside, you'll find a home that has been thoughtfully and extensively updated to meet the highest standards of comfort and style. Highlights include: designer kitchen renovation with custom cabinetry, marble and quartz countertops, GE Cafe Select appliances, and a large island perfect for gathering, complete electrical rewire and expanded panel to support today’s modern living, plus an EV charging outlet, two-zone central air, including a high-velocity system for maximum comfort on every floor, rebuilt chimneys, refinished original hardwood floors, custom French doors and casement windows to bring the outdoors in, a new rear deck and resurfaced patio ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, a glass-enclosed mudroom, repaved driveway, detached historic carriage garage offering versatile storage or workspace, fully refreshed interior and exterior paint, along with designer lighting throughout for a polished, cohesive feel. The home's intelligent layout offers generous space across three levels, with bright, oversized rooms that feel as functional as they are beautiful. The upper floors provide flexibility for bedrooms, offices, or creative studios, all bathed in natural light and accented by those soaring ceilings rarely found in today’s homes. Outdoors, enjoy lush, established gardens with mature plantings, privacy-enhancing arborvitae, and a colorful front bed that ensures year-round curb appeal. This is more than just a home—it’s a spacious, sun-drenched sanctuary with a storied past and a bright, modern future. A rare opportunity to own a move-in ready masterpiece in one of Philadelphia’s most desirable neighborhoods.
