Eichler & Moffly, Inc. Realtors

Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, PA

We are privileged to offer a residence of great beauty and architectural distinction situated on 3112 acres in one of Chestnut Hill's most sought-after locations. Designed in the Greek Revival tradition in 1896 by Philadelphia architect George T. Pearson, its spacious sunny rooms, many French doors opening to lawns and terraces, and its exquisite interior detail, are reminiscent of the elegant plantation houses of the Old South. The breathtaking grand entry hall, with its magnificent stairway to the second floor, the elegantly handcrafted moldings throughout the house, floors of marble, wood or quarry tile, and fireplaces in every first-floor room and most of the family bedrooms, present an extraordinary combination of quiet dignity and tasteful luxury, while still retaining an ambiance of familial warmth. The 3112 acres include a wrap-around flagstone terrace, a handsome heated swimming pool, a charming 4-room guest cottage, front and back driveways, and three street frontages.
