Welcome to 34 Hilltop Road, a short walk from Germantown Avenue in Chestnut Hill. This home feels instantly warm and familiar the moment you step inside. The spacious living room invites you to slow down, snuggle up with a book next to the working fireplace, and imagine cozy evenings spent with people you love. Original details tell the story of the home’s character, from the inlays in the hardwood floors to the arched front door, and classic crown molding. A side door opens to your outdoor patio, a natural extension of the living space and an easy place to host friends, sip your morning coffee, or linger outside on cool summer nights. The dining room is filled with natural light, creating a bright and welcoming space for everyday meals and special celebrations alike. The kitchen offers stainless steel appliances and easy access to both the basement and the backyard. Out back, the tiered garden feels like a little retreat of its own. It's a place to plant herbs and vegetables, relax in the sun, or unwind at the end of the day. The second floor offers four comfortable bedrooms and a full bath. The front bedroom opens to a charming Juliet balcony that looks out over Hilltop Road, a sweet spot to greet the day. The remaining bedrooms are generously sized, and the bathroom offers both a tub and stall shower. On the third floor, two more spacious bedrooms feel tucked away and peaceful, each with cozy alcoves that invite creativity and quiet moments. A hall bath completes the level, offering flexibility for guests, home offices, or growing households. The garage is more than just a place to park. With an added loft, it becomes a space for hobbies, projects, or storage for the things that make your life full. With two outdoor spaces made for gathering, entertaining, and relaxing, and with everything Chestnut Hill has to offer just outside your door, this home invites you to settle in and truly feel at home. The Chestnut Hill Library, McNally’s, Matine's, Hilltop Books, and both train and bus lines are all just a short walk away and all that Chestnut Hill has to offer within reach. Come make your appointment today.

Residential Single-Family Attached-3 District
The RSA, Residential Single-Family Attached districts are primarily intended to accommodate attached and semi-detached houses on individual lots, but may be applied in areas characterized by a mix of housing types, including detached houses. The districts are also intended to provide a density transition between RSD districts and RM districts. The Zoning Code includes five RSA districts that are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements.
