Turn the key and watch the magic unfold! Introducing a spectacular fusion of past and present at 422 W. Chestnut Hill Avenue, a masterfully reimagined estate by award-winning Blake Development Corporation. Set on .62 acres along the Wissahickon Valley, this 8,500+ square-foot residence seamlessly integrates timeless architectural character with modern luxury. Featuring 6 bedrooms, 6 full and 2 half baths plus versatile spaces ideal for home offices, this move-in ready home has been restored with exceptional craftsmanship and an uncompromising eye for detail. This remarkable property carries a storied history. Originally part of Henry H. Houston’s 1880s Chestnut Hill development, it began as two Queen Anne–style dwellings built in 1884-1885 by architects G.W. & W.D. Hewitt. In 1925, Richard L. Austin commissioned Bunting & Shrigley to unify and transform them into an elegant L-shaped French villa with courtyard and 1.5 story oversized garage/loft; a wedding gift to his daughter, Lucille Austin Hepburn. Its evolution reflects a broader Chestnut Hill tradition of creatively adapting historic homes to suit modern needs while honoring their architectural soul. The home’s approach is unforgettable with a bluestone entrance walkway, slate-clad gables, smooth stucco façades, and deep-set windows overlooking manicured gardens. Inside, a grand checkerboard-marble foyer leads to refined millwork, hardwood floors, and a sweeping staircase illuminated by tall arched windows. The main level blends elegance with everyday comfort. A stunning custom-designed kitchen with bespoke cabinetry, marble and granite surfaces, professional-grade appliances, and a dramatic island opens to a sun-filled great room with captivating views of the grounds. A stylish half bath, well-appointed mudroom, and secondary staircase enhance convenience. Formal living and dining rooms, each with architecturally detailed fireplaces, and a handsome den create a beautifully connected, thoughtfully curated main living experience. From the living room, double doors open to a flagstone terrace framed by graceful arches and a richly finished wood ceiling complete with an integrated radiant heating system allowing for year-round outdoor enjoyment overlooking the grounds. The second level includes an exquisite primary suite with oversized custom-fitted walk-in closet and a showpiece marble bath crafted with timeless design and thoughtfully curated details. Beyond the primary suite, the level features two additional ensuite bedrooms and a substantial laundry room. The third floor offers four bedrooms and two full hall baths, ideal for guests or dedicated work and play spaces. The lower level provides unusually high ceilings, a flexible media, fitness, or recreation area with an integrated infrared sauna, full bath, walk-out access, and generous storage. 422 W. Chestnut Hill Avenue is more than a home…it’s a lifestyle, perfectly situated just steps from shopping, dining, and the scenic Wissahickon Trails. For those who travel frequently or enjoy weekend getaways, this home is strategically located to provide seamless access to New York City, Washington, D.C., and all the major airports. 422 W.

A significant 1887 upgrade introduced its glorious wraparound porch, inlaid and parquet flooring, summer kitchen/butler's pantry, and main bedroom suite. Countless original details remain, making this a home that unfolds before your eyes. Historic significance meets everyday livability, thanks to a thoughtful layout and an array of recent restoration. Over the past year, the current owners have invested deeply in the home's systems and finishes: completely updated electric, a brand-new septic system, a complete roof replacement, fresh interior paint throughout, and custom millwork that honors the home's craftsmanship. For peace of mind, both asbestos and radon remediation have been professionally completed. The home offers 11-foot ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and central air. The first floor features a large living room, sitting room, proper dining room, a powder room with a 17th-century sink from Italy, and an expanded kitchen. The 2016 renovation enlarged the footprint, painstakingly restored original cabinetry, and added new cabinets, Thermador and SubZero appliances, and stunning soapstone countertops and sink. Climb the beautifully carved staircase to the second floor and the main bedroom suite, appointed with custom-painted French doors and antique elements including Belgian paving tiles and decorative shower tiles. Three more well-sized bedrooms, a brand-new second-floor bathroom, and an additional full bath complete this level. The third floor offers three more bedrooms and a full bath with a cast-iron clawfoot tub—ideal for a home office, nanny suite, or guest quarters. Outdoor space abounds, with a flat side yard and a lovely backyard featuring a brick patio made for grilling. Mature plantings include tulip magnolia, blue wisteria, and Japanese maple. You're 30 minutes to downtown Philadelphia, or just two turns to Route 309 toward Trenton and the Amtrak to NYC. Steps from everything Chestnut Hill offers—boutique shopping, fine dining, street festivals, the Farmers Market, Wissahickon Valley Park, and both Chestnut Hill West and East Regional Rail lines. A walkable and sublime lifestyle in every way. Don't miss your chance to live the life on Summit Street!

Custom millwork, built-in bookcases, and an elegant powder room finished in Venetian plaster complete the refined first floor. The showstopper is the kitchen and back-of-house suite — a spectacular reimagining completed less than two years ago by one of the region’s top residential architects in collaboration with a celebrated kitchen designer. As uplifting as it is functional, the space includes a beautifully appointed back entry that serves as a mudroom elevated to an art form. Upstairs, five bedrooms and four updated full bathrooms are arranged across three separate wings, offering exceptional privacy. A recently renovated guest wing adds flexible living space, and the expansive third floor is ideal as a sixth bedroom, studio, or gym. Every upgrade has been executed with architectural sensitivity — new windows, updated HVAC, revitalized gardens, enhanced hardscaping, and upgraded electrical and lighting systems reflect the masterful stewardship of this remarkable property. Walk to Chestnut Hill’s shops and restaurants, jog into the Wissahickon Valley, and explore the Morris Arboretum in every season. Regional rail is less than a mile away, with easy access to major highways. This one is special — don’t wait to see it.

French doors lead from the kitchen into the dining room, which is surrounded by windows and anchored by a large wood-burning fireplace that creates a warm atmosphere for winter nights. A grand foyer with arched doorways to the kitchen and living room, a powder room, and a cozy office/ den with built-in bookshelves and a private entrance occupy the middle portion of the first floor. With windows on three sides, built-in shelving, and a stone fireplace with an intricately carved mantel, the large living room is ideal for hosting gatherings, and there's plenty of space for rolling up the rug and dancing. Off the landing to the second floor, a recently remodeled space could serve as second-floor family room or large bedroom with its own full bath. The second floor features two spacious bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bathroom between them, a third sunny bedroom that the current owners use as a exercise room, and a large primary bedroom featuring an updated en suite full bath and a working fireplace for an extra touch of luxury. The third floor offers versatile living options, either as an in-law suite, home office, or additional bedrooms for guests and also features a large cedar closet and plenty of storage spaces. Outside, the beautifully landscaped yard boasts a well-tended perennial garden; fully fenced back yard; two slate patios accessed by French doors from the living room, dining room, and kitchen; an in-ground pool with flagstone hardscaping; and an outdoor shower—ideal for entertaining or relaxation in this urban oasis.

Rare 1.02-acre estate parcel in the prestigious St. Martins section of Chestnut Hill—officially subdivided into two buildable 0.51-acre RSD-1 single-family lots. This extraordinary property at 530–536 W Moreland Avenue offers unmatched flexibility: build one signature estate residence spanning the full acre, or build two custom single-family homes, one on each approved half-acre lot. Both lots are recognized by L&I and may carry distinct addresses (530 and 536), offering immediate planning clarity. This premier location is among the most coveted in Chestnut Hill—a quiet, tree-lined residential pocket known for its stately homes and walkability. From this address, enjoy effortless access to the Philadelphia Cricket Club, Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, Wissahickon Skating Club, Valley Green/Wissahickon trails, and the vibrant shops and restaurants of historic Germantown Avenue. Properties of this size and pedigree rarely come to market in Chestnut Hill. The former residence has been demolished, leaving a clear and ready development site. A grandfathered existing garage remains in the rear corner of the 536 side—a valuable zoning advantage that allows a larger garage or accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to be built with reduced setback restrictions. Included for buyer review are conceptual architectural elevations created by Cuningham Architects, illustrating both (1) a single estate home spanning the full acre, and (2) two smaller homes designed for each half-acre lot. These designs are optional and provided for inspiration only. The architect is available to work directly with the buyer to customize or complete full plans, or buyers may bring their own architect and builder. A recommended builder is available upon request, though buyers may choose any team they prefer. The subdivision has been formally approved by Philadelphia L&I. Zoning: RSD-1 (Single-Family Residential). Survey, zoning permit, easement documentation, and Seller’s Disclosure are available.

In the heart of Chestnut Hill, this exceptional European-inspired contemporary residence offers a rare blend of architectural living, organic warmth, and seamless connection to nature. Privately tucked behind a stately wall on nearly half an acre, the 5-bedroom, 5.1-bath home feels quietly removed from the everyday while remaining just moments from the Wissahickon, Germantown Avenue’s celebrated shops and restaurants, and convenient access to Center City. A gated driveway leads to a heated attached two-car garage with interior access, with infrastructure already in place for electric vehicle charging — reinforcing the home’s sense of privacy, comfort, and ease. Beyond the bright, gallery-like entry, the eye is immediately drawn through the home toward its dramatic centerpiece: a spectacular glass conservatory rising at the rear of the residence like a private botanical pavilion. Flooded with natural light and framed by treetop views, the space blurs the line between indoors and out, anchored by a soaring antique chandelier and an oversized fountain repurposed as a sculptural planter. More than simply a sunroom, it is the architectural heart of the home — and the room you will inevitably find yourself gathering in. Designed for both large-scale entertaining and intimate everyday living, the surrounding spaces balance modern luxury with warmth and texture. The living and dining rooms flow seamlessly into the conservatory, while a custom built-in wine and spirits cabinet reinforces the home’s effortless entertaining aesthetic. At the center of the home, the warm contemporary kitchen combines clean lines, professional-grade appliances, skylit natural light, and understated functionality. Just beyond, a sunlit breakfast room or reading lounge with shelving opens onto a covered veranda overlooking the surrounding landscape and mature trees — an inviting setting for morning coffee, conversation, or quiet work-from-home moments. A dramatic vaulted family room introduces a moodier counterpoint to the home’s airy entertaining spaces, pairing rich tones, oversized windows, a statement mantel, and integrated office alcove to create a comfortable lounge-like environment for relaxing or working from home. A nearby main-level laundry room adds everyday practicality. Designed with comfort and privacy in mind, all five bedrooms feature ensuite baths. The main-level primary suite offers generous proportions and a calm, boutique hotel-inspired atmosphere. The ensuite bath features a soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, single vanity, and clean contemporary finishes, while just beyond, the suite extends outdoors to a secluded walled courtyard with hot tub, private outdoor shower, and lounge area nestled beneath the trees. The main family wing includes additional ensuite bedrooms with spacious closets and flexible accommodations for family or guests. Separate from this wing, two distinct upper-level suites are accessed by independent staircases, creating exceptional privacy and flexibility. One functions as a true second primary suite, complete with a lounge-style sitting area, spa-like bath, and private roof deck tucked among the treetops. The second upper-level suite offers ideal accommodations for guests, an au pair, multigenerational living, or the ultimate tucked-away hangout space. The partially finished lower level provides flexible recreation, fitness, or lounge space, while a substantial unfinished area offers additional laundry area, extensive storage and utility space. Additional outdoor seating areas tucked throughout the property further enhance the home’s immersive connection to the surrounding landscape. Ideally located just steps from Valley Green, St. Martins train station, and the boutiques and restaurants along Germantown Avenue, this architecturally curated residence is truly a home that must be experienced in person to fully appreciate the atmosphere, scale, and remarkable sense of escape it offers within one
