This gem of a Civil War era three-story farmhouse is tucked away in an idyllic Chestnut Hill neighborhood within walking distance of Germantown Ave for shopping and dining and just a stone's throw from Pastorius and Fairmount Parks. Built in 1867 the home underwent a substantial two-story expansion in the 1950s and has been carefully updated in recent years with attention to retaining original character and detail while providing today's amenities. The result is a crisp, meticulous home that is exceptionally warm and inviting. The large living room with fireplace and built-ins is part of the earlier expansion as is the generous main bedroom with sitting area just above on the 2nd floor. The living room opens through two sets of French doors to the serene slate and stone patio overlooking a beautiful private backyard with delightful gardens and plantings. The dining room with built-ins is lovely and the interior-designed cook's kitchen offers custom cabinetry, granite counters, center island, stainless appliances including a new Wolf cook top and French doors to the patio. In addition to the main bedroom, the 2nd floor includes another large en-suite bedroom and a total of two full bathrooms on that floor. There are two more super charming bedrooms on the 3rd floor. The home is bright and sunny with hardwood floors, new storm windows for the entire house, a new standing seam metal roof and a newer high efficiency furnace. The entire interior has just been freshly painted. 8340 Millman St is a truly captivating property and one not to be missed!
