About this home
Single Family · Built 1904 · Historic
Bordering Fairmount Park and overlooking the Wissahickon Valley, exquisite 'Boxly' is a fully-updated 1903 Georgian Revival with planned gardens and landscape by Frederick Law Olmstead. Clearly one of the finest properties in Chestnut Hill, the house offers the most discerning, a glorious melding of old and new, formal and casual, practical and luxurious. The original portion of the house containing the living room, dining room, kitchen, and family bedrooms was tastefully restored and modernized between 2005 and 2008. In 2012, a three-story wing added family-room and library with south-facing window spanning two floors, and splendid in-law suite. Although it is within walking distance of public transportation and the community life of Germantown Avenue, the house offers exceptional privacy and long, expansive, uninterrupted views of meadow, woods, stream and hilltops. Large, light-filled rooms with high ceilings, big windows, rich crown moldings, and extensive custom casework, set off the sophisticated decor. The kitchen contains the appliances and finishes you would expect from a house of this caliber: Thermador, Miele, marble. A rare opportunity. House and property protected by Conservation and Facade Easements. Please do not enter property without a confirmed appointment.
