About This Home
As of March 2025Designed by Robert McGoodwin, a major Philadelphia architect who practiced in the first half of the 20th century, this block of elegant twins is sited on a dead end street, tucked privately away from the hustle and bustle of Germantown Ave, but walking distance to everything Chestnut Hill has to offer. When I walk into Evergreen Place, I think of it as the Elfreth's Alley of one hundred years later. The houses, as they sit on the street, encourage neighborliness. This pocket neighborhood is so iconic and desirable that one neighbor has lived in three different houses on the block. The present owner has lived in the house since 1985, and has lovingly maintained and improved the house through the years. With its architectural integrity intact, and the mechanics of the house (such as roof, furnace, A/C, windows, water heater,) all recently updated, you can concentrate on decor. You know, the fun part. The over-100 year old house is in great condition, and oozing vintage charm. The front door opens to a vestibule, with the staircase straight ahead, living room to the left, and dining room to the right. There is a French door onto the beautiful front porch from the living room and an elegant gas-fired fireplace on one wall with cabinetry on either side. Off the dining room is the spacious first floor closet and the first floor half bath. The kitchen is housed in a one-story section at the back of the house. The second floor has two bedrooms, a full bath, and an open space that could be used in many ways: tv room, home gym, office, library. The third floor has two more bedrooms and a bath with a stall shower. Perfect guest quarters. Come visit. You'll be charmed.
