About This Property
Welcome to historic Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia's beloved Garden
District. The Cresheim and Wissahickon Valleys of Fairmount Park
and the steep slopes of its northern border give the area the sense
of remoteness coveted by those who built breezy summer homes here
130 years ago. Nestled in the heart of the neighborhood sits 8506
Ardleigh Street, a handsome row offering classic simplicity,
design-sensitive renovations and a "Top-of-the-Hill" address. Just
steps from the shops, galleries, farmer's market, and restaurants
of cobblestoned Germantown Avenue, Valley Green, and the trails of
Fairmount Park, this location is second to none. The quintessential
Chestnut Hill charm of this home begins at the curb with a
delightfully painted front door, overflowing flower boxes, and
beautiful perennial gardens. Spend warm summer evenings chatting
with neighbors, gardening, and dining al fresco. Enter through a
sunny enclosed porch, the perfect spot for morning coffee and a
good book. Next, find a light-filled living room featuring original
hardwood floors with delicate walnut inlay, recessed lighting, and
original molding and trim work. A corner fireplace can easily be
re-opened and outfitted with a gas insert for cozy evenings by the
fire. The dining room is spacious and perfect for hosting an
intimate dinner party. The kitchen is the heart of every home and
this kitchen does not disappoint. Meticulously renovated with an
eco-conscious sensibility, it boasts striking aquamarine glass
tiles, European-style Bosch appliances, and open shelving, ideal
for displaying china and collectibles. A laundry room with a
stackable washer and dryer and a convenient powder room complete
this floor. Three sunny and sizable bedrooms and a modern spa-like
bath with double vanity, a deep soaking tub, and a skylight round
out the second floor. Allow yourself to age in place in a finished
basement with wall-to-wall carpeting and a Duo Alta Stiltz elevator
lift transporting you easily to the living level. A walk-out to the
driveway makes parking a non-issue and two walkable train lines
make commuting a dream. The home also boasts mini-split air
conditioning, new electric (no knob and tube), a new hot water
heater, and a new high-efficiency boiler. Chestnut Hill was given
the prestigious title of being one of the "Top Ten Great
Neighborhoods in the United States" by the American Planning
Commission and was recognized as one of the best neighborhoods to
live in by Forbes.com. A National Register Historic District,
Chestnut Hill is a residential gem set amidst the natural beauty of
the Wissahickon Valley, replete with cobblestone streets, beautiful
and varied housing stock, and cozy shops. Perfect location, charm,
and convenience: welcome home.
