A welcoming front porch sets the tone—perfect for morning coffee or winding down with neighbors in the evening.

The kitchen exudes personality with its retro-inspired checkerboard flooring, sleek stainless steel appliances, and direct access to a private patio—ideal for al fresco summer dinners.

Beyond the yard sits a huge two-car detached garage, accessed via a shared driveway.

Upstairs, the second floor includes a generously sized front bedroom, a cozy second bedroom, and a beautifully renovated hall bath. The third floor serves as a private suite, complete with a stunning original clawfoot tub—the perfect retreat at the end of the day. All of Chestnut Hill’s best shops, restaurants, cafés, and community events are just around the corner. And with the regional rail station just a short walk away, Center City and beyond are easily within reach. This charming home is the one you’ve been waiting for—schedule your tour today!
