Philadelphia PA Real Estate & Homes For Sale

Welcome to the best of Chestnut Hill! Exceptional 5 bedroom stone-clad jewel on a private drive, just a short walk to the train, Fairmount Park, and restaurants and shops of the coveted garden district. Noted architect Theophilus Chandler designed Stonecliffe in 1880. The mansion tragically burned to its foundations in the 1920s. It then began a second life when the owner's daughter built an Olympic-sized swimming pool amidst the stone ruins while she continued to live in Greystock, a neighboring house built for her by her father as a wedding present. In 1971 architect Richard Martin removed most of the pool and within the still standing mansion walls fashioned a new residence centered around a sunken courtyard and secluded garden. The present owner, also an architect, rebuilt the pool, upgraded and re-landscaped the entryway and courtyard, and modified much of the roofing to expose more of the original stonework. One enters the home by descending into the hidden courtyard and approaching the arcaded porch and front door. A gracious foyer opens to the glass and stone great room, which leads into the light-filled living room overlooking a private courtyard. A massive raised hearth with floating hood separates living and dining areas, while more arcaded arches define a zone for artwork, music, and billiards. The adjacent den with arrow-slit window views overlooks a downstairs office and opens onto the courtyard and pool area. A sleek chef's kitchen features exposed stone, polished granite, and stainless steel appliances. Among the five second-level bedrooms you will find a serene owner's retreat complete with dressing room/walk-in closet and private roof deck. Another large deck ideal for entertaining is located off the second floor landing and offers unrivaled views to the north and forty miles to the west.
