Property Description
Historic significance meets everyday livability, thanks to a thoughtful layout and an array of recent restoration. Over the past year, the current owners have invested deeply in the home's systems and finishes: completely updated electric, a brand-new septic system, a complete roof replacement, fresh interior paint throughout, and custom millwork that honors the home's craftsmanship. For peace of mind, both asbestos and radon remediation have been professionally completed.
The home offers 11-foot ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and central air. The first floor features a large living room, sitting room, proper dining room, a powder room with a 17th-century sink from Italy, and an expanded kitchen. The 2016 renovation enlarged the footprint, painstakingly restored original cabinetry, and added new cabinets, Thermador and SubZero appliances, and stunning soapstone countertops and sink.
Climb the beautifully carved staircase to the second floor and the main bedroom suite, appointed with custom-painted French doors and antique elements including Belgian paving tiles and decorative shower tiles. Three more well-sized bedrooms, a brand-new second-floor bathroom, and an additional full bath complete this level. The third floor offers three more bedrooms and a full bath with a cast-iron clawfoot tub—ideal for a home office, nanny suite, or guest quarters.
Outdoor space abounds, with a flat side yard and a lovely backyard featuring a brick patio made for grilling. Mature plantings include tulip magnolia, blue wisteria, and Japanese maple. You're 30 minutes to downtown Philadelphia, or just two turns to Route 309 toward Trenton and the Amtrak to NYC. Steps from everything Chestnut Hill offers—boutique shopping, fine dining, street festivals, the Farmers Market, Wissahickon Valley Park, and both Chestnut Hill West and East Regional Rail lines.
A walkable and sublime lifestyle in every way. Don't miss your chance to live the life on Summit Street!
