Property Description

Tucked away in the heart of Chestnut Hill, this charming 1922 brick twin is full of warmth, character, and history. Just one block of Germantown Avenue and designed by noted architect Robert McGoodwin for Henry H. Houston, the home blends classic beauty with thoughtful modern updates. Step inside and feel instantly at home in the cozy living room, complete with a gas fireplace that invites quiet evenings or lively gatherings. The formal dining room is perfect for sharing meals and memories, with lovely crown molding adding a touch of elegance. The kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring wood cabinets, granite counter-tops, a tile back-splash and floor, and updated stainless steel appliances. The spacious primary bedroom offers generous closet space and two full, beautifully updated bathrooms-one upstairs and one in the finished basement-provide comfort and convenience for everyday living. There is great additional storage and a nice flexible room on the 3rd floor. Gleaming hardwood floors throughout and freshly painted walls in soft, calming tones make every room feel inviting. The finished basement adds even more living space, with a full bath and laundry area tucked neatly inside. Enjoy peaceful mornings on the sweet front porch chatting with neighbors, or spend quiet evenings on the private back deck and patio surrounded by lovingly landscaped perennials and shrubs-no mowing required. With everything Chestnut Hill has to offer just steps away, from vibrant shops and cafes to concerts in Pastorius Park and trails in the Wissahickon, this is a place to truly love where you live.
