About This Home

As of December 2017

Charming stone row house in the heart of Chestnut Hill that has been lovingly and meticulously maintained by the owner for 37 years. Pass the cheerful front garden & porch, you begin to see the details of yesteryear as you make your way to the rounded original solid wood front door. This door is handsomely adorned by a hand crafted, stone archway - making it unique from other properties on this tree-lined block. Enter the spacious living room, noticing the decorative fireplace, and two windowed doors that lead to the front porch. The sun-filled dining room features built in shelving, a mounted China cabinet, and a pass through window to the kitchen, giving the space an open feel. The full kitchen leads to a brand new deck; perfect for summer gatherings! Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms, two of which have large, newly built, custom designed closets. The tiled, full bathroom has a skylight, which opens for ventilation, and fills the room with natural light and warmth. The wall-to-wall carpeting has, for the past 37 years, covered the hardwood floors found throughout the house. Downstairs is a full, clean, walk-out basement, which leads to a private driveway and one-car garage. You will enjoy the benefits and longevity of the new furnace (2015), roof (2013), windows (2012), deck (2017), and closets (2017). The home is a short walk to Chestnut Hill shopping, both Chestnut Hill East & West train stations, and is located in the highly sought-after, Philadelphia catchment for Jenks Academy. Schedule a showing today and move with plenty of time to experience all of the whimsy and tradition that Chestnut Hill has to offer through the Holiday season and beyond.
