Five bedrooms, a finished basement, a renovated kitchen, original Victorian detail, and a spacious patio and garden. In Chestnut Hill, at this price, you move fast when something checks all the boxes! The millwork, rich hardwood floors, and period craftsmanship are intact and beautiful, and the updates mean the hard work is already done. Enter through a glass-enclosed porch that immediately sets the tone. This space flows gracefully into the main living level, which features an elegant living room, a proper dining room, and a functional, stylish kitchen that honors the home's original character. Split units throughout keep the home as cool as central air, but with far greater efficiency. A conversion from oil to gas heat brought a new furnace and water heater just 5 years ago. A wood-burning fireplace insert in the living room warms things up when the season turns. Out back, a private patio and garden invites you to actually use it: morning coffee, weekend entertaining, or a quiet evening with nowhere else to be, all under a pergola and with a gas line for the grill, making entertaining a breeze. Upstairs, the second floor holds three bedrooms (one with a large walk-in closet) and a full bath, freshly updated with a new toilet, sink, and shower/tub, and the third floor adds two more great bedrooms. There is ample space on the third floor so the next owner could add a bathroom there or turn it into a marvelous primary suite as some neighbors have done. The recently refinished basement rounds things out with a brand new full bathroom with a subway tiled glass enclosed walk-in shower, functioning equally well as a guest or in-law suite, home office, or recreation room. This level comes complete with a new laundry room with new washer and dryer, and additional room that still leaves plenty of space for storage. Out front, a new walkway, stoop, and porch floor make the welcome home just that much warmer. And then there's the neighborhood itself! Highly walkable, with the restaurants and shops lining Germantown Avenue, easy access to the Wissahickon trails, the incredible farmers market right around the corner, convenient access to the train line and bus lines for a super easy commute into Center City, and the particular pleasure of knowing your neighbors by name. Original character, modern updates, and nothing left on your to-do list: a rare combination you won't want to miss.
