Description

Fall in love with this Chestnut Hill gem. Exuding elegance, charm and drenched in natural light, this historic end-of-row treasure has been finished with absolute style and is steps to the heart of Chestnut Hill. Thoughtfully renovated throughout, the home features updated kitchen and baths, newer appliances, windows, and air conditioning, all while preserving original details like classic shutters, freshly refinished random-width antique pine floors, original molding, and solid wood doors. The Sellers have done extensive work to bring this c.1925 historic property to the highest standards. Enter through a formal hallway punctuated by a new front door that floods with light. To the right, a sophisticated living room welcomes you with large windows, custom built-in shelving, and cabinetry—an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. The adjoining dining room is classy, welcoming and illuminated by a statement light fixture. It even includes a coat closet. At the rear of the home, the fully renovated kitchen gets glorious light and is a chef’s dream. Highlights include a vaulted ceiling, granite countertops, 42” white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (including a 5-burner gas range with self-cleaning convection oven, microwave, and armoire-style refrigerator), soft-close drawers, a tiled backsplash, and pantry storage. A granite breakfast bar with pendant lighting invites casual meals or morning coffee. A glass sliding door opens to a spacious deck, perfect for al fresco dining, with steps down to a deep, grassy yard—ideal for gardening, entertaining, or play. Upstairs, the second floor continues with original hardwood floors and features a generously sized primary bedroom. A second bedroom, currently used as a dressing room, includes two built-in wardrobes. The modern full bath on this level stuns with a herringbone marble floor, vaulted ceiling, skylight, wainscoting, soaking tub with a rain showerhead, marble vanity, and elegant lighting. The third floor offers two more spacious bedrooms with more abundant light, designer fixtures, and ample closets. A second full bath on this floor is equally luxurious, showcasing radiant-heated marble flooring, a furniture-style vanity, soaking tub with tile surround, and contemporary lighting. The basement provides a washer and dryer, utility sink, and generous storage space. Located just steps from the beloved Saturday morning Farmers Market at Mermaid Lane and Germantown Avenue, The Night Kitchen Bakery, and a vibrant mix of shops, restaurants, and cafés, this home offers unmatched walkability and neighborhood charm.
