Let's talk "LOCATION..." Nestled in the very heart of one of Philadelphia's most revered and storied neighborhoods, Chestnut Hill, PA- find this charming and classic Red Brick and Wissahickon Schist Corner Twin. Offering authentic and untouched original hardwood Oak with Mahogany inlay throughout its two upper levels; plus artisan- built plaster walls, and solid wood base moldings further gracing each room. A back yard oasis, with its mature heirloom landscaping , naturally shapes into a glorious retreat for Al Fresco dining and morning coffee. With such fantastic spaces and handsome bones- what a fantasy then to make this rare dwelling (situated just a walkable block away from delightful cafes, florists, bakeries, antique stores...), now your own custom-finished and designed Home- just for you! Your project will require refreshed plumbing throughout, a full new Kitchen, re-wiring, HVAC & Water Heater, and painted interiors. There is a 2nd level "Mamie" Pink Bath , and a 2nd Full (start from scratch) Bath on the Lower Basement level. Carpentry/ Floor replacement is required for the back entrance Mudroom, Cellar stairs, with additional desired tasks to complete. But the the solid old-growth Oak Floors and Main Staircase- are standing firm for decades to come. The Roof has been rebuilt within the past 10 years, and the Windows replaced for energy efficiency... Spaces, and opportunities, and quality-of-life to come... are just fantastic here! Light pours in through the front enclosed, heated Solarium Porch with its friendly views of the Canopy tree-lined and well-tended, residential Abington Avenue. While, 'Pastorius Park' and 'Valley Green' are treasured nearby Parks with hiking , biking, and dog run trails surrounding this special enclave. Enjoy live concerts to entertain in the Summer, and festive and decorative Holiday revelry year round. A quick commute to Center City and the Airport conveniently connects this Community- voted one of the Nation's "Top 10-" to the business and cultural offerings of the City of Brotherly Love and beyond... After generations of ownership of this beloved property, The Sellers are now seeking a 'Cash, As-Is' deal with its next caretakers- but will entertain supportable Offers- Thank you.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
