About This Home

As of September 2015

With such priceless landscapes viewed from serene interiors, it's hard to believe you're in Philadelphia. Located on Fairmount Park's edge, in Chestnut Hill, this 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house with separate guest house epitomizes William Penn's dream of the "green countrie" town. The newer salt water pool delivers tranquility, beauty, and convenience. A quick 20-minute drive or train gets you to the middle of Center City. On the property, the City seems a million miles away. Originally built as the gardener's cottage for the Krisheim Estate with its landscape designed by Olmstead, this extraordinary home was fully renovated and added to in 2008 by the current owners. Offered for only the second time since it was built, the beautiful photos cannot capture the essence of this magical place. Enjoy the convenience of city living, the wildness of the Wissahickon Valley, the charm of the best neighborhood in Philadelphia, and the architecturally-designed and up-to-date interiors of this exceptional urban getaway. AKA 645 Gatehouse Lane.
