Property Description
Inside, original architectural details speak to the home's pedigree—Yellin wrought-iron work graces the staircase, light fixtures, and hardware, while hand-carved stone and wood fireplace mantels, crown molding, random-width hardwood floors, and crystal door handles provide enduring character throughout.
The living room centers around a carved rose granite and wood fireplace, with floor-to-ceiling windows that invite natural light and open through French doors to a sweeping brick terrace overlooking the grounds—ideal for entertaining. The formal dining room, accented by a gas fireplace and coffered walls, offers French doors to a charming patio balcony. The kitchen features original butler's pantry cabinetry, a center island, gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a sunny breakfast area with bay window overlooking a private courtyard and kitchen garden. A marble powder room, private study, and second rear staircase complete the main level.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat with views of the rear gardens, a wall of closets, and a luxurious marble bath featuring dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a soaking tub with picturesque garden view. A library with built-in shelving, two additional bedrooms, a marble hall bath, and a laundry room complete the second floor. The home's baths have been thoughtfully renovated, blending timeless materials with modern comforts to complement the home's historic character. The third level offers three more bedrooms and a generous cedar closet. The walkout lower level offers a sauna, gym, and ample storage space.
The property's patios, gardens, and meandering paths set it apart—designed to be enjoyed from nearly every window. A long gravel walk leads past curated gardens and specimen trees, while a hidden side path connects directly to Fairmount Park's extensive trail network. Offering both privacy and proximity, this distinguished residence is convenient to Chestnut Hill, Manayunk, major roadways, and the train. A rare offering in one of Philadelphia's most special locations.
