Welcome to 38-40 E Willow Grove Ave; a quintessential stone twin offering 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 2 car parking half a block from everything Chestnut Hill has to offer. Built in the late 1800’s, this Philadelphia classic perfectly captures the charm and elegance of its era while offering the modern comforts of today. Situated on an expansive double lot, 38 E Willow Grove Ave comes with established plantings and abundant space for gardening and outdoor living, making it a haven for those seeking a home in the Garden District of Philadelphia. Inside you'll find over 2,400 square feet of living space with nods to the past like a wood burning fireplace, high ceilings, original hardwood floors and exposed brick, complemented by modern updates such as dual zoned central heating & cooling. All the windows in the home have been replaced, allowing for ease of operation and an incredible amount of natural light.
