The wait is finally over! Welcome to “Top-of-The-Hill”. This beautiful, twin Tudor in desirable downtown Chestnut Hill has been meticulously maintained and recently renovated with stunning updates throughout. Unlike most homes in Chestnut Hill, you will appreciate the convenience of having a driveway and an oversized two car, detached garage with brand new garage doors; you won’t need your car since you can walk everywhere. This home offers a spacious open floor plan, bonus family room, finished basement, 5 bedrooms, and 2 full & 2 half baths. As you walk into the open main floor, you will notice hardwood floors with a decorative inlay border and traditional crown molding throughout. The living room features built-ins, wood burning fireplace, and a large picture window with the original beveled glass. The unique bonus den or family room off the living room was converted from a flagstone patio to a modern retreat featuring bamboo ceilings and surrounding windows. The living room flows right into the dining room and kitchen, making this space perfect for entertaining. The dining room expands through the French doors and opens to a Trex® deck with a view of the mature garden terraces and hidden vegetable garden; for those who enjoy eating what they grow. The kitchen was recently renovated and features custom cherry cabinetry with sectional controlled under-lighting, Thermador stainless appliances, granite counters, breakfast bar, and adorned with a Palladian window. The newly added powder room hearkens back to the old charm of the original house and completes the main floor. The 2nd floor has an oversized master bedroom with large his and hers closets, an updated hall bath with marble floors and new frame-less shower door. Two additional bright bedrooms finish the second floor. The third 3rd floor has two very spacious bedrooms featuring large closets, tons of natural light, pop-outs for extra space, and shares a beautiful full bath with a freestanding tub. The finished basement with updated powder room adds further living space. You will find tucked away closets, laundry room with a work bench, and another exit to the back maintenance-free stone patio. Situated on a quite side street behind Germantown Avenue, one can walk to all the local shops & restaurants downtown Chestnut Hill has to offer. Additionally, with its close proximity to the train and a 15 minute drive to center city, this prime location can’t be beat. Don’t miss the opportunity to be a part of this fabulous neighborhood. Please review the full list of additions & improvements in the documents section.
