Property Description

Known as ?Seven Chimneys,? for the seven unique tiled fireplaces and stacked chimneys, this timeless stone Tudor nestled in the heart of Chestnut Hill exudes charm and elegance. Perfectly situated on a private and picturesque lot, this residence offers classic architecture within walking distance to the vibrant shops and restaurants of Chestnut Hill.
Curb appeal abounds as you approach the home, which features a gracious front yard which sets the house back from the street. As you arrive you will notice recent upgrades to the exterior including new copper gutters and flashing, and a new, red slate roof which was recognized with a Preservation Award from the Chestnut Hill Conservancy.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a proper front foyer with original hardwood floors, beautiful leaded windows and intricate woodwork. The spacious first floor includes a formal living room, a secondary den space, an expanded kitchen, dining room and powder room.
A grand front staircase takes you to the second floor where you will find the main bedroom suite, complete with study that affords privacy and flexibility to use as a home office or add a walk in closet. On the other side of this floor find two bedrooms, full bath and sleeping porch. Take the back stairs to the third floor, where you?ll find a large room perfect for entertaining, plus two more bedrooms and full bath.
Outside, the magical grounds are meticulously landscaped featuring mature trees, a sunken garden, a large vegetable garden area, a putting green, and a pool. Enjoy summer evenings on the expansive covered stone patio, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Conveniently located adjacent to the Wissahickon Park and a block from the beloved Crefeld trailhead, outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate access to miles of hiking and biking trails amidst breathtaking natural scenery. The walkable Chestnut Hill neighborhood offers a plethora of boutiques, restaurants, and cultural attractions like the Morris Arboretum and Woodmere Art Museum, ensuring there's always something new to explore.
