Property Description

Welcome to Chestnut Hill, one of Philly's perennial favorite neighborhoods. Its collection of trendy shops and restaurants, magnificent architecture, beautiful gardens and unspoiled natural areas is hard to find in any other neighborhood in the City. This charming single is located in the coveted "Top of the Hill" area, you are right in the heart of all that is Chestnut Hill. At the same time, when you step out back into your landscaped backyard, you are a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life. 39 W Gravers was born in 1857 and reborn in 2004 with an architect led project that added a large Living/Dining Area on the first floor and a Master Suite on the second floor. The mechanicals were all updated resulting in a blend of modern day comforts while retaining some of the old home character. Walk down the flagstone path to the side entry and step into the fabulous kitchen. A live edge wood breakfast bar with barstools overlooks the business area of the kitchen. Your "inner chef" will be awakened when you see the Wolf Range, Soapstone Counters and generous Maple cabinetry. Just off to the side is a Dining Area with a big farm style table and chairs. The owner is willing to include the table , chairs and barstools as part of the sale. The architect had a good feel for the human connection to nature! The back of the house is a wall of windows and French Doors take you out to the patio for barbecuing or outdoor dining. The large Living Room has original random width pine flooring, refinished to highlight their beauty. A wood burning fireplace will be the draw on cold winter nights. All the staircases start with a whimsical turn that will bring back memories of the Betsy Ross House. The second floor has the added Master Bedroom and Bath as well as two more bedrooms and a full bath with stall shower. The third floor can serve as a Fourth Bedroom, Office, Library, Rec Room,... You decide! The Basement has been waterproofed and has the laundry, storage space and a room under the addition for a workshop or mini (Wo)Man Cave. Energy efficient with wood windows with low-e insulated glass, whole house insulation, 2-zoned heating and dual control thermostats. New roof in 2020. New cedar fence in the backyard 2026. With a Walk Score of 85, you may find the car does not move for weeks at a time. The Chestnut Hill West Train Station is .3 miles away, providing easy access to Center City. With Weaver's Way Co-op, Fresh Market and Chestnut Hill Farmers Market all just a short walk away, you might find food shopping becomes a daily adventure rather than a weekly chore! Enjoy summer concerts and fellow dog owners in Pastorius Park, just two blocks away. The icing on the cake for this beautiful home is the proximity to one of Philadelphia's greatest treasures! A short walk takes you to the Rex Ave. entrance to the Wissahickon Valley Park section of Fairmount Park. Every day, a dedicated army of exercisers stay in the best shape of their lives, biking, hiking and running on the trails that flank both sides of the Wissahickon Creek for 5 miles. The Valley feels at least 10 degrees cooler in the heat of the summer and the scenery is fantastic. If you wish your life felt more like a vacation and less like running on a treadmill, add this home to your list of properties to tour!
