Description
On the market for the first time in nearly 30 years, this classic Chestnut Hill residence is a rare opportunity in an idyllic setting just steps from Fairmount Park. Tucked away in the woods and nestled behind a beautifully landscaped garden courtyard, the home blends timeless architecture with versatile living spaces in a location that offers both privacy and convenience. The main level opens with a gracious entry hall and wide-plank hardwood floors that extend throughout much of the home. At its heart is an expansive, high-ceiling grand room—the first half of a thoughtful two-story addition—designed for gathering, with a wood-burning fireplace, tall windows, and French doors leading to the courtyard. A stately dining room, breakfast nook, and compact yet efficient kitchen provide wonderful natural light and serene views from nearly every angle. With six separate doors opening to the outdoors, this home seamlessly connects the interior to its natural surroundings, creating a rare sense of peace and flow. Also on the first floor is a flexible suite with a full bathroom, ideal as a den, fourth bedroom, or guest quarters, along with a convenient laundry closet. Upstairs, the primary suite, forming the second half of the addition, features refinished floors, generous closet space, and a full bathroom. The other two spacious bedrooms flank a bathroom and a convenient second staircase. Outdoors, the private courtyard retreat is framed by lush plantings, with space for both quiet mornings and evening barbecues and outdoor dining. Just beyond the garden, Fairmount Park offers endless opportunities for recreation, while the shops and restaurants and convenience of Germantown Avenue are moments away. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully expanded, this home offers a unique combination of character, livability, and location. Properties of this quality and setting rarely come to market—an exceptional opportunity not to be missed.
