The Ultimate Expression of Historic Elegance and Contemporary Luxury: If you are looking for an elegant, classic Chestnut Hill home in a superb, picturesque setting that's entirely turnkey, look no further than 22 West Bells Mill Road. Situated on an elevated, park-like parcel in the historic Wissahickon Valley, this fabulous… Read More home is bathed in sunlight from morning through sunset and offers the perfect harmony of preserved architectural heritage and masterful modern updates. The residence was meticulously envisioned by the acclaimed design firm Tallulah & Bird and executed by Regan Construction during an extensive 2023 restoration. While the home retains its rich original character, the floor plan was given exceptional clarity, all new plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems. The kitchen and six bathrooms were made new - all flawlessly maintained since completion. Residents will enjoy unrivaled lifestyle convenience, living just a short walk from historic downtown Chestnut Hill's premier galleries and culinary venues, as well as the scenic biking and hiking trails of the Wissahickon Valley. The Main Level: Architectural Grandeur & Epicurean Luxury: A formal double-door entry welcomes guests into a refined receiving vestibule. The expansive first floor features a sprawling, light-filled living room anchored by a working fireplace and a striking wall of European-style double French doors that transition seamlessly to the outdoor living spaces. An adjoining formal dining room features its own working fireplace and a matching continuation of French doors overlooking the rear grounds. The completely transformed chef's kitchen serves as the home's crown jewel, boasting custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry with bespoke shelving, 48'' BlueStar commercial range, with a custom vent hood, four Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers, GE Monogram refrigerator/freezer columns, and a dedicated wine refrigerator - all beautifully complemented by brass hardware. An impressive 11-foot island with integrated center seating serves as the ideal gathering hub, supported by an adjacent dedicated wine and coffee bar. Completing the main floor is a solarium/greenhouse that offers a lovely bonus entertainment space, a private home office complete with built-in bookcases, and an oversized powder room. The Private Quarters- Ensuite Sophistication & Laundry: A grand Federal-style staircase guides you to the second level, which has four bedrooms and four custom ensuite bathrooms. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, defined by soaring 12-foot vaulted ceilings, a luxury bath with dual vanities and a soaking tub, and a fireplace. The massive walk-in closet outfitted by California Closets, feature custom wall-to-wall cabinetry, a center folding island, and an additional fireplace. The three remaining bedrooms each feature fully updated custom ensuite baths, generous closets, and abundant natural light. For maximum convenience, the upper level includes a dedicated bedroom-level laundry closet featuring a front-load washer, dryer, and folding table. Lower Level: A Versatile English Basement Garden Suite: The finished lower level functions beautifully as a secondary living space, featuring a lovely separate entrance directly from the front facade. This bright area serves as a fantastic family room and comes complete with its own powder room. It also houses an extra, secondary laundry facility with a high-efficiency front-load washer and dryer set, making it highly self-sufficient. This level is rounded out by a dedicated dry storage room with ample space for extras, additional refrigerators/freezers, and in 2023, a brand-new dual-zone HVAC system. An Enhanced Outdoor Oasis: The thoughtfully enhanced grounds feature an expansive 40' x 17' flagstone patio, lush new landscaping, and elegant bluestone stairs leading to the upper rear yard. This turnkey historic gem in sought-after Chestnut Hill blends timeless character with exceptional outdoor living. Read Less
