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.
