Description
Set along one of the most picturesque and storied streets in Chestnut Hill, this extraordinary carriage house is tucked down a long private driveway, hidden beneath a canopy of mature trees and lush landscaping. A welcoming, Dutch door opens to a two-story foyer with striking black terrazzo floors with radiant heat. An arched doorway leads into the formal living room, where three oversized arched windows, once carriage entrances, fill the space with natural light. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the room, and French doors open to the backyard. To the left of the foyer, a rich, moody den envelops you in dark chocolate-painted wood paneling and beamed ceilings. A corner wood-burning fireplace with a vintage tile surround makes it the perfect place to unwind—or an inspiring home office. The great room blends comfort and function, with high ceilings, picture railing, and twin French doors to a covered side porch and patio. A long window seat runs the length of the dining nook, framed by windows. The adjacent kitchen is both beautiful and highly functional, featuring impeccable appliances: a stainless steel cooktop with six burners and griddle, Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine fridge, double wall ovens, and double GE Profile dishwashers. A reclaimed wood island offers casual seating and warmth. Beyond the kitchen, a greenhouse offers abundant sunlight and storage for gardening enthusiasts. A cozy family room at the front of the home looks into the greenhouse through a sliding glass door. A powder room and multiple coat closets complete the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite impresses with soaring vaulted ceilings, a wall of casement windows, and an original plaster fireplace accented with hexagon terra cotta tile. The en suite bath retains its original charm and offers a spacious linen closet. A second suite sits on the opposite end of the home, also with a private bath, generous closet space, and natural light. Two additional bedrooms, a full hall bath, and a laundry room complete the upper level. The grounds are as enchanting as the interior. Meandering brick garden paths wind through beds of pachysandra and mature perennial plantings, creating a sense of privacy and retreat. A two-tiered back patio—partially roofed, partially shaded by a pergola—provides multiple spots to dine, relax, or entertain. All of this is just steps from Wissahickon Valley Park, the shopping and dining of Germantown Avenue, and an easy drive or train ride to Center City. Steeped in history and brimming with personality, this hidden Chestnut Hill gem offers an unmatched blend of charm, privacy, and everyday convenienceShow Description
