About this home
Dating to 1849, this beautifully preserved historic home sits along a picturesque, tree-lined one-way stretch of West Gravers Lane in the heart of Chestnut Hill. It offers a rare combination of timeless character and thoughtfully executed, high-end updates. A brand-new copper roof, upgraded electrical systems, and central air provide modern comfort, while original craftsmanship and carefully curated materials preserve the home’s authentic charm.
Inside, a stunning eat-in kitchen addition serves as the heart of the home. Filled with natural light from an overhead skylight, it features radiant heated floors, elegant Brookhaven cabinetry, and custom-built details. Original wide-plank heart pine floors extend throughout, adding warmth and continuity. A recently renovated full bathroom enhances the move-in-ready appeal.
Upstairs, the home offers four well-proportioned bedrooms and an additional full bath, creating a flexible and comfortable living arrangement. Each bedroom reflects the home’s historic character, with original floors and solid wood doors adding warmth and authenticity, while modern replacement windows invite abundant natural light and provide energy efficiency.
Set on a rare, south-facing double lot, the property is bathed in sunlight throughout the day. Mature gardens and a slate patio create a peaceful outdoor retreat, while a historic two-story barn offers privacy and exciting possibilities as a studio, workshop, or storage. The inviting front porch, adorned with classic gingerbread trim, adds to the home’s welcoming presence and connection to its close-knit community.
The location is equally exceptional—just steps from local favorites like Weaver's Way Co-op, Matines Cafe, and the Market at the Fairway. Outdoor enthusiasts will love being within walking distance of Pastorius Park and Jenks Playground, while nearby Wissahickon Valley Park offers miles of scenic trails for hiking, biking, and more. Convenient access to both Chestnut Hill East and West regional rail lines makes commuting into Center City effortless.
With permit parking, exceptional walkability, and a strong sense of community, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy historic living with modern ease in one of Philadelphia’s most sought-after neighborhoods....
