This exceptional residence has it all. It is moments from the running and biking trails of the Wissahickon Valley Park, minutes from Chestnut Hill's shops, restaurants and trains, and is near the PA Turnpike.

The living room, library, ultra-modern kitchen and spacious sun/breakfast rooms all overlook the fenced garden, pool and woodland views. The designer kitchen has floor-to ceiling windows on 2 sides and luxury appointments including all top of the line appliances, zinc counters, cork floors, exceptional storage, mini and full dishwashers, wine and full sized refrigerators, and a large desk area. The full master suite includes a stunning, light-filled bathroom and a large dressing room area. 3 additional bedrooms (one with walk through access that could also be used as a home office) with updated full baths. A huge basement with walkout doors leads to the lower porch and a classically elegant pool/garden area.
