Tucked away in Philadelphia’s beloved Garden District, this detached Chestnut Hill farmhouse blends timeless charm with modern comfort. A welcoming front porch sets the tone—perfect for morning coffee or winding down with neighbors in the evening. Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors and natural light throughout, with a cozy living room and sunlit dining room that create an inviting space for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The kitchen exudes personality with its retro-inspired checkerboard flooring, sleek stainless steel appliances, and direct access to a private patio—ideal for al fresco summer dinners. But the true hidden gem? The backyard. There’s ample space for a play area, vegetable garden, outdoor dining, firepit, or all of the above—a rare find in Chestnut Hill. Beyond the yard sits a huge two-car detached garage, accessed via a shared driveway. In addition to offering valuable off-street parking and storage, the garage has also been used as a spacious workshop and design studio by past owners—and could be further optimized to suit your needs. Upstairs, the second floor includes a generously sized front bedroom, a cozy second bedroom, and a beautifully renovated hall bath. The third floor serves as a private suite, complete with a stunning original clawfoot tub—the perfect retreat at the end of the day. All of Chestnut Hill’s best shops, restaurants, cafés, and community events are just around the corner. And with the regional rail station just a short walk away, Center City and beyond are easily within reach. This charming home is the one you’ve been waiting for—schedule your tour today!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
