Description

A rare blend of historic grandeur and modern comfort in a fabulous Chestnut Hill location. Welcome to the largest condo residence in the sought after Anglecot community, offering 2,818 square feet of elegant living space plus beautifully finished areas on the lower level. Originally built in 1883 by Charles Potter and masterfully designed by renowned architect Wilson Eyre, this property, known as The Anglecot, is listed on both the National and Philadelphia Registers of Historic Properties. The entire residence was renovated and converted to condominiums in 1981 -83. It now contains nine units, including 3 carriage house units. This home has been thoughtfully transformed into a truly exceptional modern residence while keeping much of the original architectural details. This spectacular home features 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths, all thoughtfully upgraded. Period details abound—exquisite built-ins, elaborate carvings, mahogany paneling, four fireplaces, bullet glass window, beamed ceilings, interior shutters, and pocket doors. The kitchen offers granite countertops, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, gas cooking, and recessed lighting. The second floor offers a spacious primary suite that features a carved arch entry with pocket doors, stunning original fireplace, generous closet space, and a lovely bath with a whirlpool tub. In addition, on this level, you will find a newly renovated luxurious bathroom with a glass surround walk-in shower, tasteful finishes and access to a newly expanded walk-in closet. A second light-filled bedroom currently serves as an office and offers a fireplace and ample closet space. Just up a spiral staircase to the 3rd floor, you will find 2 spacious bedrooms and a hall bathroom. Plenty of storage and closet space. We can’t forget the fully finished lower level with an open staircase from the first floor that includes a large family room with built-in desk/office area, powder room, laundry room, 15x11 finished storage room, and a utility room. Additional highlights include LED cable lighting tastefully integrated in the living room, 2 zone central air, newer carpeting throughout, newer tongue and groove rose oak hardwood floors on the first floor and a charming private rear deck overlooking the stunning landscaped grounds. A 2-car detached garage with extra storage and additional on-site parking. The location has everything, with walkability to Germantown Avenue shops and restaurants, Septa Regional Rail Stations and close to local treasures like Woodmere Art Museum, the Wissahickon, and The Morris Arboretum.
