Enjoy a spacious stone twin located on a prestigious tree lined block in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia’s Garden District. Designed in 1924 by renowned architect, Samuel W. Marshall. Beautifully landscaped front and rear gardens, with an abundance of perennials, trees, and shrubs. Enter a sunlit solarium with 2 closets, an inviting living room with a gas fireplace, a separate dining room with an adjacent original Butler’s pantry with lots of storage, an eat-in kitchen with granite counter tops, a servant’s staircase, and a mudroom with access to the rear garden and garage/driveway. The 2nd level consists of an en suite primary bedroom, 2 other bedrooms, a full hall bathroom and 2 hall closets. The 3rd floor has another bedroom and closet, a full bathroom and options for more rooms or storage. A full basement with some natural light is dry and super clean, ideal for storage and has a large laundry area. Classic architectural features throughout include deep windowsills, high baseboards, original tile, wood floors and staircase. This well-maintained home has new (2023) electric throughout (goodbye knob & tube), plus a new 200-amp breaker box, and in 2022 a new water heater, flat roof, and James Hardie siding on the mudroom. The sloping roof was redone in 2014. Plus, a garage with additional parking for 2 cars in the driveway. A 5-minute walk to the St. Martins train station, around the corner from Pastorius Park (summer concerts) and 1-mile from the Valley Green Inn and the beautiful Wissahickon Valley. A short walk to town and cobblestoned Germantown Ave. (coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, Weaver’s Way Co-op and a farmer’s market), Springside-Chestnut Hill Academy and the Philadelphia Cricket Club.
