About this home

Experience the harmonious blend of history and grandeur in this distinguished 1886 Wissahickon schist Chestnut Hill classic, masterfully crafted by the renowned architect Horace Trumbauer for the esteemed Philadelphia philanthropist, Henry H. Houston. Known for his development of the Saint Martins section in the garden district, originally called Wissahickon Heights, Houston’s legacy echoes throughout this 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence. Marvel at the original hardwood floors, intricate millwork, and six stately fireplaces that narrate a tale of timeless elegance, all beneath soaring ceilings. Natural light bathes the living and dining rooms through two stunning solariums, while a gracious entry hall with a powder room anchors the main level. The adjacent kitchen retains historical charm, complete with an original butler’s pantry, epitomizing the quintessential Chestnut Hill design. Set on a serene, private lot, the mature gardens provide a peaceful retreat and enduring beauty.
