Bucolic Oasis In Historic House Surrounded by Meadow & Woods

Description

Do not let the square footage fool you... this is a very special property. If you are looking for a retreat from urban living just outside the city limits, with easy access to commuter rail and Chestnut Hill shopping, look no further. This turn of the century home is formerly part of a much larger estate, and possesses too many unique qualities to effectively capture in words. Situated a mere half mile from the SEPTA Chestnut Hill East train stop at Gravers Lane, you will have little sense of being so near to the amenities of Philadelphia. The main floor includes an open plan living and dining area, an updated eat-in kitchen with Thermador range, Sub Zero fridge and pantry with wine fridge, three bedrooms and two full bathrooms; a fourth bedroom and WC are upstairs. Radiator heating, and central air conditioning. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout, and new double-pane windows. There is a remarkable enclosed porch with views to the west of field and woods. There is a large parking area, a garden, and nearly two and a half acres of planted trees and meadow for exploring. We are looking for responsible adults, or a family with older children and no pets. Our plans are definitely in flux, so this listing is to assess levels of interest. If you are interested, please let us know a bit about your situation. The pictures are NOT of our current furnishings or paint colors, as we have recently moved in. We can share updated photos as we get them.
