Property Description

134 W Highland Ave is a stunning Chestnut Hill residence blending historic character with sophisticated modern living. A mature flower garden greets you out front, and the classic faade offers exceptional curb appeal a mansard-style roof, original architectural details, handsome black shutters, tall windows, and an inviting double-door entry. Inside, high ceilings, original hardwood floors, and detailed millwork carry the home's character throughout, along with a traditional fireplace. At the heart of the home is a light-filled chef's kitchen and large eat-in area part of a custom-built addition designed by renowned architects Rasmussen/Su and built by McCoubrey/Overholser offering luxury appliances, honed marble countertops, rare wide-plank Danish HeartOak floors, and skylights alongside oversized windows. The kitchen opens directly onto a large bluestone patio, with a separate mudroom (complete with laundry and a powder room) providing additional access to the backyard and pool making the space equally suited to daily living and entertaining. The home offers 5 bedrooms and 2.5 newly renovated bathrooms across 3,824 square feet on three stories, set on a rare street-to-street lot with multi-car off-street parking and a garage. Behind the house, a lush and remarkably private garden unfolds anchored by over 100-year-old Norwegian spruce and evergreen magnolias with an in-ground saltwater pool, a custom copper outdoor shower, striking stonework built from the home's own original Wissahickon schist, and multiple areas for outdoor dining and relaxation. Just moments from Germantown Avenue's acclaimed shops, restaurants, cafs, parks, and regional rail, this is a rare opportunity to own a landmark-style home in one of Philadelphia's most desirable neighborhoods. There is an extensive list of improvements and renovations available upon request. Offers to be reviewed on Monday, October 5th.
