Property Description

A perfect country retreat! Hidden down a long driveway, this lovely carriage house has spectacular views of the Wissahickon Valley and Fairmount Park. Originally this carriage house was part of a large estate, which was built in 1902 and sub?divided in the early 1960s. Completely renovated in the Arts and Crafts style, the floor plan is open and spacious with views in every direction. The general condition and theme of the house has been enhanced with special artistic touches, including beautiful wood, leaded glass cabinets and decorative doors. Enter the home into the Great Room and open Kitchen with glass doors leading to a private outdoor deck. The Living Room has a large stone fireplace and glass doors to the outdoor deck as well. The Den has built?in bookshelves with an adjacent full bath with natural stone walls. On the lower walk out level, there are two bedrooms and two full baths with doors to a large flagstone patio. On the second floor the Master Suite includes a sitting room, an office, a master bedroom and two separate full bathrooms. The grounds are wooded and beautifully landscaped. Steps lead from the side of the house to a large in ground pool, a flagstone patio, and a pool house with fireplace. Walk to the train and the shops of Chestnut Hill, only minutes away. This is truly a one of a kind property.
