Rich in character and natural light, the 2–3 bedroom, 2-bath home blends rustic charm with effortless livability. A vestibule entry with generous coat closet leads to a sun-drenched great room, with windows on three sides, and a striking stone, wood-burning fireplace that anchors the living space. Architectural replacement windows and reclaimed Brazilian hardwood flooring continue throughout the home. The dining area showcases an oversized picture window which frames the landscape beyond. Off of the living room area you’ll find an oversized first floor primary suite with abundant closet space and natural light. The attached full bath with walk-in shower, radiant flooring, and dedicated laundry space affords ease of living on one floor. A recently added den just off the dining area seamlessly matches the original structure and serves beautifully as an additional first-floor bedroom or studio. The spacious eat-in kitchen features ample counter space, a stainless steel LG appliance suite, gas range, steel farmhouse sink, and a second access point to the yard with outdoor sitting area. A winding staircase leads upstairs to another bedroom with Dutch door access to the rooftop balcony with relaxing views for morning coffee. Just across the hall is a spa bathroom with radiant flooring, a soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower. This upper level serves as a private retreat or guest suite. The home underwent a top to bottom renovation in 2019 with no expense spared. The renovation included the kitchen, both bathrooms, the first-floor den expansion, Brazilian hardwood floors, select replacement windows, updated systems like the water heater, electric, and the addition of air-conditioning. The recently paved driveway allows for 4+ car parking. The home is also just a short walk to the Woodmere Art Museum, Morris Arboretum, and all the vitality of the shops and restaurants on Germantown Avenue. With its metal roof, timeless materials, and extraordinary charm, this one-of-a-kind carriage house presents a rare opportunity to own a secluded single-family retreat in a truly picturesque Chestnut Hill setting.
