About This Home
As of June 2025Signature Chestnut Hill Mid-Century ModernDesigned in 1955 by noted architects John Sweet and Milton Schwartz, this sunny, sophisticated mid-century modern gem offers the perfect blend of architectural integrity and thoughtful, contemporary updates. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac lined with other classic modern homes, this residence enjoys unparalleled walkability—just steps from multiple entrances to the Wissahickon trails, a short stroll to the heart of Chestnut Hill, and an easy ride into Center City via Highland or Chestnut Hill West SEPTA stops.With a total interior transformation, this home is a rare example of mid-century design that still honors its original spirit while embracing modern life. The new, state-of-the-art kitchen—streamlined and sleek—was designed by Trish Painter of Custer Kitchens and features Wood-Mode/Brookhaven cabinetry, marrying high function with modern style. Both bathrooms have been re-imagined with architectural vision and artistic flair, complemented by Duravit fixtures, Italian tile, and level walk-in showers with linear drains.Warm hardwood floors run through sun drenched rooms, each thoughtfully proportioned. Expansive walls of windows bring the outside in, with southeast light pouring into the dining area and southern sun warming the living room. The home’s design is deeply connected to its landscape, with a lush ipe wood deck extending from the living room and a flagstone patio flowing out from the kitchen, creating true outdoor “rooms” that seamlessly blend with the interiors.The surrounding gardens—professionally manicured and filled with established perennials and a serene moss front yard—are a year-round retreat. Deciduous trees and thoughtful overhangs offer just the right light at every time of year, providing natural cooling in summer and passive solar warmth in winter. The home also features newly installed, state-of-the-art heating systems, making it as efficient as it is beautiful.Offering four bedrooms and two full baths, this home also includes a dedicated workshop area, a laundry room, and an attached garage. It’s low-maintenance, energy-efficient, and located in one of Philadelphia’s most treasured neighborhoods.Timeless. Artistic. Intentional. This is mid-century modern at its finest.Make your appointment to view it today.
