Its location is excellent as it is a short stroll to the “Top of the Hill” and all the wonderful shops, restaurants and businesses found on the Avenue. Any discerning buyer will appreciate the quality of construction and attention to detail found in this wonderful home. Enter the front door to a welcoming foyer with private study/office to the side. Wide plank hardwood floors, 9’ ceilings can be found throughout the first floor. Walk through the hallway to the heart of the house which is an entertainer’s delight. Let’s start with the gourmet kitchen featuring 42” soft close cabinets, a pantry with pull-out shelves, high end SS appliances, and granite countertops with glass backsplash. Eat a casual meal at the kitchen island or a more formal one in the adjoining dining room with fabulous custom built window seats with storage. The family room features a Lennox gas fireplace with marble surround, recessed lighting, ceiling fan, and a surround sound system which is wired throughout the 1st floor and lower level. Triple French doors lead to a fantastic covered deck with stained hardwood beadboard ceiling with recessed lights, a ceiling fan for warm days and integrated electric heaters for chilly nights. The glass railing allows unobstructed views of the side and rear yard. This space is a great expansion to the living area allowing for outdoor entertainment. Completing the main level is a guest powder room with wainscoting paneling. Oak stairs with a striking runner lead to the second floor and the main bedroom retreat featuring a 10’ vaulted ceiling with fan, 2 walk-in closets with organizers and the en-suite main bathroom with walk-in rain shower featuring pebble tile and a double vanity. Both of the other two bedrooms on this floor are well sized with closets that have built-in organizers. There is a hall bath which can also be accessed from one of the guest bedrooms. The laundry room is conveniently located on the second level and has 12 x 12 tile floor, a utility sink and sleek IKEA cabinetry. On the third floor is the 4th bedroom with an individual split system HVAC system, built-in shelving and new wall-to-wall carpeting. The finished lower level with 9’ ft ceilings and recessed lighting adds even more living space to the home. One room is a great space for a gym, office or playroom. A second larger room has French doors to the outside, a Lennox gas fireplace and is perfect for a second family room, both with plenty of windows. Located in the hallway in between the rooms is another convenient powder room. Professionally landscaped, the low maintenance yards boasts many perennial plantings such as hydrangeas, roses, and ferns to name a few, as well as crepe myrtle, magnolia and evergreen trees. Paramount to convenience for a Chestnut Hill home is a two-car garage with extra storage area and off-street parking for 3 additional cars. The Septa regional rail and bus depots are also easily accessible. Make an appointment to tour this wonderful property to see all it has to offer. You will not be disappointed!
