Charming Brick and Stone Carriage Home Originally part of the five-acre Woods Estate, this lovely home sits on a private half-acre in a park-like setting. Entering through the wood gate, a long private driveway brings you to the house, which sits back from the road. Meticulously landscaped with specimen trees and shrubbery for even more privacy, this converted carriage house reminds you of the English Cotswolds with its slate roof and painted stone and brick. Gleaming hardwood floors greet you as you enter the spacious living room. The large windows with deep sills, built-in bookcases, and wood-burning fireplace will make you want to linger and relax in this serene space. Off the living room, a cheerful half bath with a coat closet is available for guests. A French door leads to a secluded and private covered porch where you will enjoy your outside meals in a peaceful bucolic setting, and an archway leads to the large sunlit dining room where you can entertain family and friends. Next, enter the brand new, gorgeous butler's pantry and kitchen. Well-thought-out and beautifully designed, the speakeasy-style butler's pantry features soapstone countertops, double oven, ice machine, wine fridge, microwave, plus plenty of storage space for all your entertaining needs. Designer tile and wallpaper finish this stunning space with a look out of Architectural Digest. The designer kitchen is a chef's dream with GE Café appliances, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, a large farm sink, and gas cooktop. A floor-to-ceiling pantry with a library ladder provides all your storage needs, while wood shelving lets you display your favorite dishes. Skylights add an abundance of light, the picture window allows you to watch the seasons change, and a heated floor keeps you toasty on cold winter mornings. The first floor ends with a warm and inviting family room that features a gas fireplace and built-in bookcases and cabinets to house your favorite books, cherished photographs, and board games. An air of quiet and warm elegance runs throughout this home. Hardwood floors and charming architectural accents continue as you ascend the bannister staircase to the second level, which offers five bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom is large and spacious with a wall of built-in bookshelves and cabinets and an en-suite bathroom with a stall shower. Four more bedrooms, multiple closets, and a hall bathroom with a tub complete the upper floor. All of the bedrooms are bathed in natural light and enjoy views of the well-landscaped grounds. The house has been meticulously maintained and has new split A/C units, a new Budderaus boiler, and new Bradford White tankless hot water heater. Located in desirable Chestnut Hill, this lovely home is walkable to all the Chestnut Hill neighborhood has to offer. With a five-minute walk to the train station and close proximity to Route 309 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, this location has easy access to the entire region. This charming home really is the perfect mix of bustling city life and elegant country sensibilities.
