Welcome to 711 Avondale Rd—a rarely available, expanded Colonial in the sought-after community of Chesney Downs. Offering 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2,248 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this home seamlessly blends charm, comfort, and functionality with a layout ideal for entertaining. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the entire home, except in the breakfast/mudroom, where a stone floor adds character and durability. The inviting living room features a bay window, crown molding, and a cozy gas fireplace. A formal dining room—also with a bay window, chair rail, and crown molding—flows effortlessly into both the kitchen and the spacious family room. The family room addition boasts a tray ceiling with recessed lighting, custom built-in cabinetry, and French doors that open to a large flagstone patio. The updated kitchen is a chef’s delight with cherry cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and a bar/prep sink. Adjacent to the kitchen, the breakfast/mudroom addition offers a large coat/storage closet and additional access to the backyard. A full bath with pedestal sink and stall shower completes the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious primary bedroom, three additional bedrooms, and a full hall bath. The full, unfinished basement includes a laundry area and offers endless potential—whether you envision a home gym, studio, workshop, or additional living area. Outside, enjoy the private backyard from the expansive flagstone patio—perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing in a serene setting. A two-car garage completes this exceptional property. Conveniently located near shopping and restaurants in Flourtown and Chestnut Hill, major transportation routes and an easy commute to Center City.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
