Perfectly positioned between Germantown Avenue and Pastorius Park - just one block in either direction - this restored Chestnut Hill home offers walkability to shops and restaurants, everyday access to green space, easy reach of the Wissahickon trails, and the added flexibility of a detached studio tucked just beyond the… Read More courtyard. A stone single with a distinctive mansard roof, the home has been thoughtfully reworked with a clear design sensibility and consistent material choices throughout. Exposed rafters, deep-set windows, and layered materials give the home texture and warmth, while modern upgrades - updated systems, central air, and a reimagined kitchen and baths - support comfortable daily living. You enter into the front parlor: floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving, a window seat, white oak floors that run through the entire first floor. Next is the bright, comfortable living room with a stylish ceiling fan and original millwork. Basement access is from this room. Through to the heart of the home - the kitchen: heavy timber beams overhead, soapstone counters, a professional-style range beneath a custom vent hood, structural floating shelves, and a dining area anchored by botanical wallpaper. A room that works as hard as it looks good. A side door connects directly to the driveway. Throughout the home, lighting, paint choices, and built-ins added by the current owners reflect an intentional and cohesive approach to design. Four bedrooms and two full baths span three levels, with every nook considered. The second-floor bath: freestanding soaking tub, zero-entry shower, heated marble floors, heated towel bars, matte black fixtures. The third-floor bath: a jack-and-jill between two bedrooms with a deep green tile shower and live-edge wood vanity shelf. The basement provides additional storage, laundry, and a powder room for everyday convenience. Outside, a courtyard sits beneath a pergola that fills with Concord grape vines each summer - enjoyed as an outdoor dining and lounge area with the feel of a tucked-away European courtyard. Off-street parking for two cars adds everyday practicality. Just beyond the courtyard sits a former three-car garage, now an approximately 500-square-foot artist's studio with additional storage. Filled with natural light and equipped with its own mini-split heating and cooling system, it offers a rare layer of flexibility - studio, office, workshop, fitness space, guest overflow. Set in the heart of Chestnut Hill, this is a home with a point of view - positioned for buyers who recognize what they're looking at. Read Less
