7615 St Martins Ln Philadelphia, PA 19118

Rare opportunity to acquire a parcel on coveted Saint Martins Lane in the heart of Chestnut Hill to create your dream home. Ideal for a builder or investor ready to create a landmark residence or an owner occupant who has a vision. Occupying a 0.37 acre lot, the property includes a circa-1953 home (±2,000 sq ft) with a distinctive midcentury modern feel and a detached secondary structure (±1,000 sq ft) with potential for conversion to a garage, studio, guest suite, artist studio or additional living space. Sold as-is - best suited for a complete gut renovation and cash only. The value is in the land, the location, and the incredible potential. The setting sets this apart as it backs up to incredible wooded views, with a full wall of south facing windows that brings the outdoors in on both the main level and the lower level. A large deck occupies the entire width of the home and is perfect for entertaining and grilling overlooking a private, tree-canopied backdrop. A set of stairs leads to the lower level which could be home to 3 bedrooms or 2 bedrooms plus an additional family room. A generous driveway provides parking for at least six cars. Short walk to the St. Martins train station, Pastorius Park, Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, Germantown Avenue's shops and restaurants, the Wissahickon Valley Park trailhead, and the Philadelphia Cricket Club. Bring your architect or contractor. Bring your vision. Opportunities like this don't come along very often in Chestnut Hill!
