5 E Chestnut Hill Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19118

This classic "Renaissance Revival Italianate" style stone residence was built in 1855 as a single-family mansion. It was later converted to multi-family with five apartments. This landmark building has the potential to be converted and restored to its original design as an elegant single family residence. The building has its original facades, interior staircase, and many appointments. It occupies a prominent and spacious corner lot containing stately trees, gardens, and a parking area. Historically and architecturally significant, this property is located in the heart of Chestnut Hill near the village shops and both commuter train stations. The residence features many large windows, high ceilings, three original fireplace mantels, and mostly wood flooring. Recent improvements include a high efficiency gas boiler and 400 amp electric service. Offering the potential to be retrofitted to a premier single family house or to convert some apartments to an owner occupied unit retaining others for investment. This is a rare opportunity.
