Property Description

This home is the incredible combination of a charming cottage set in a serene wooded grove, restored with a breathtaking renovation, and in a perfect location, just a short walk into the heart of Chestnut Hill. The storybook cottage is an architectural treasure topped with a cupola. It is nestled down a long drive in an unexpected private paradise. You will want to linger on the deck with a view of the magnificent Dawn Redwood and woodland beyond. Entering through the sunporch into the stunning renovated open floor plan will take your breath away. A noted interior architect designed the to-the-studs renovation. The main space, with a vaulted ceiling of over fifteen feet, is full of light from every direction. Light dances around the meticulously designed space throughout the day from three large skylights. The wide plank maple flooring runs throughout the 2 bedroom, 2 full bath home. The stunning chef's kitchen has a modern feel, yet it is perfect for this charming cottage. The custom walnut cabinets are simply beautiful. Exposed joists with a skylight above add so much character. Endless storage has been designed into the large kitchen, which includes a Thermador induction cooktop and oven, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator. Another wall of cabinetry is built into the adjoining hallway, with a Bosch washer and dryer leading to a bedroom and full bath. The large primary bedroom has floor-to-ceiling built-in closets and a modern, elegant bath. The open loft space above adds extra space to the listed square footage of the home. It could be used as an additional guest sleeping space or an office. The loft space also has a door to a large storage area. Extra storage space is found in both the basement and outdoor shed. The location of the home is unbelievable. Leaving the wooded setting down the long drive, you are just a short walk to both the east and west train lines and the heart of Chestnut Hill. The home has easy access into Center City Philadelphia and is minutes from Rt 309 and the Pa Turnpike. This cottage, situated on a park-like wooded flag lot that feels deep in the woods, with a thoughtful redesign, so close to the heart of Chestnut Hill, is truly a rare and unique opportunity not seen before in this area.
