Property Description

This private and picturesque house in the Chestnut Hill tradition was designed by noted Philadelphia architect Robert R. McGoodwin and built by Dr. George Woodward in 1915. The home is tucked away on a lushly landscaped lot surrounded by mature specimen plantings and towering trees. A slate walkway leads to the enchanting front entrance, where stone arches introduce the home’s timeless character. Inside, the foyer opens to a gracious formal living room with fireplace and abundant natural light. French doors extend the living space outdoors to a brick terrace, creating an effortless flow for entertaining and everyday living. Just off the main hall is a lovely library with built-ins and a hall powder room. The formal dining room is equally inviting, featuring a fireplace, a window overlooking the rear grounds, and glass-front built-ins that add warmth and functionality. An adjoining sunroom opens directly to the patio and gardens beyond. The kitchen blends charm and practicality with original glass-front cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, gas cooking, a walk-in pantry, and a secondary staircase. Upstairs, the primary suite features a fireplace, private balcony overlooking the grounds and pool, a full bath, and an adjoining sitting room. Two additional bedrooms include one with its own fireplace and balcony, along with a hall bath, laundry area, and secondary staircase access. The third floor offers three large bedrooms, a full bath, generous storage, and attic access. The grounds offer the feeling of a private garden retreat, complete with a sunlit pool and layered landscaping designed for entertaining or quiet relaxation. A detached two-car garage is accessed from Lincoln Drive. Located just one block from St. Martins Station and minutes from the amenities of Chestnut Hill, this architecturally significant residence offers timeless character and an exceptional opportunity to thoughtfully reimagine a historic home in one of Philadelphia’s most treasured settings.
