About This Home

As of October 2024

If you've been dreaming of living in the woods but don’t want to give up the creature comforts of a spectacular custom built contemporary home, you won’t want to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity. Straddling Lafayette Hill and Chestnut Hill with an expansive backyard that backs up to the trails of the Wissahickon, this stunning residence is a true gem that seamlessly blends modern elegance with classic charm. Drive up the long driveway and park inside or outside of the 3-car garage. The moment you step onto the beautifully landscaped grounds, you’ll feel a sense of peace and tranquility. Sitting on 3/4 of an acre of wooded land, a myriad of patios and balconies offer incredible views from nearly every room in the home. With over 3,300 square feet on the main and upper levels and an additional approximately 1,100+ square feet of finished space on the walkout lower level, the inviting layout is perfect for both entertaining and for everyday living. Enter into a foyer that flows into the living room and dining room, all with dramatic cathedral ceilings. The living room has large windows that flood the space with natural light and a wood-burning fireplace. Down a short set of stairs, the dining room opens onto a deck to let in the breeze. Next, the gourmet eat-in kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and an expansive island and a small deck. The kitchen overlooks the lovely family room with wood burning fireplace and stone floor to ceiling mantelpiece, the perfect set-up for cooking in the kitchen while the family hangs out together. This room opens directly onto the patio and expansive backyard for easy entertaining and dining al fresco. The first floor also has a gorgeous office set far enough away from the main action of the home for quiet and privacy. A full bathroom and the laundry room complete this floor. As if this were not already more than you could ask for in the way of living space, the spacious finished walkout basement with brand new carpet comes complete with a huge family/media room/kids playroom with full daylight from sliders to the outside. This floor has a totally separate bedroom and full bath, making it an ideal in-law or au pair suite. It also has an additional space that can be used as a home gym or extra storage. The upper floor is home to a serene primary suite, complete with two walk-in closets and spa-like ensuite bathroom with rainfall shower, and a private deck overlooking the backyard and the Wissahickon. Three additional well-appointed bedrooms and a full bath complete this floor. The lush landscaping provides a tranquil setting, perfect for relaxation or play and exploration. Situated in a highly sought-after neighborhood, this home offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful residential woodsy environment with easy access to top-rated schools and vibrant shopping and dining options. Enjoy the perks of a suburban address including lower income taxes and highly rated public schools, while enjoying the best of Chestnut Hill and the Wissahickon and an easy commute into both the city and the suburbs. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this exceptional property your own! Schedule your private showing today and experience the unique perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and style in the most peaceful of settings.
