About This Home

Located in the heart of Chestnut Hill, this beautifully maintained historic residence dating back to the late 1800s offers a rare blend of classic character and modern updates. A welcoming covered front porch with a striking wood ceiling sets the tone, complete with a porch swing overlooking a professionally landscaped yard featuring a cherry tree and grape vines—a peaceful outdoor retreat.

The kitchen is filled with natural light and showcases brand-new countertops, hardware, and contemporary finishes. At the center of the home is an impressive, renovated family room designed for entertaining, highlighted by soaring ceilings, a wood accent wall, and sliding glass doors that open to a private patio. Adjacent to the family room is a dedicated office with a large picture window overlooking the serene backyard.

Upstairs, you’ll find three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom.
