Chestnut Hill Real Estate

It’s not often that a home with this much space also feels this effortlessly livable. Filled with character and thoughtful details, this distinctive Chestnut Hill home has a casual elegance and warmth that makes you feel immediately at home. Soaring 15-foot ceilings and an inviting vestibule welcome you into the main level. The spacious living room features a handsome marble fireplace, built-in bookshelves beneath the windows, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to a side patio. The formal dining room offers classic details including chair rail and a corner china hutch, along with glass French doors leading to a second patio, where indoor and outdoor spaces flow naturally together—an ideal setting for entertaining. The large eat-in kitchen has wood cabinetry, a six-burner KitchenAid range, and built-in microwave, and opens to a convenient mudroom/laundry room and powder room. It’s a practical, hardworking space with excellent storage and easy access to the outdoors.Upstairs, the primary suite features custom California Closets and opens to an adjoining office or flex space, with access to a roof deck/balcony. Steps lead down to a full bathroom with a large soaking tub. An additional bedroom at the far end of the hallway is currently used as a den and a hall bathroom with tub serves the rest of second level.The third floor offers even more flexible living space, including a large, sunny room with freshly painted floors that could serve beautifully as a playroom, bedroom, or studio. It opens to an additional bedroom, while a third bedroom and full hall bath are located at the opposite end of the hall. A bonus room with laundry hookups provides excellent storage and exciting potential for the future. The outdoor space truly shines. A welcoming front porch and two side porches offer multiple spots to sit and enjoy the surroundings, while the beautifully established gardens create a lush, private setting that changes with the seasons. Mature plantings, winding garden spaces, and abundant greenery give the property a wonderfully natural and secluded, almost secret-garden feeling. Other notable features include a newer furnace, a Bradford White hot water heater, central air and off-street parking. A brand new septic tank will be installed in Fall 2026; permits and plans are ready to go. And the location could hardly be more ideal—just a comfortable walk to the shops and restaurants of Germantown Avenue and the trails of the Wissahickon. Here, you get the best of Chestnut Hill at your doorstep: neighborhood charm, everyday convenience, and the feeling of being surrounded by nature. Within the city limits, but a world away.

Where can you find this charming brick twin that seamlessly blends mid-century architectural history with almost London-like mews living? Tucked away in the enchanting and highly coveted Chestnut Hill Tohopeka Court, that’s where! The Tohopeka courtyard was born out of a partnership between the influential Houston and Woodward families and the prominent Philadelphia architect Robert McGoodwin. Together they shaped Chestnut Hill through the creation of highly integrated, English-style rental courts that fostered close community ties. (And what does the name Tohopeka mean? Interestingly, it is a word from the Indian Muscogee tribe and means “fort” or “fortification.”) You’ll fall under the spell and fortification of 2 Tohopeka (being sold by the owner "As Is") the minute you step through its garden gate into a lovely front yard oasis and covered entrance. The patio and lush green space offer a quiet sanctuary above Highland Avenue for morning coffee, evening wine, or intimate garden gatherings. Once inside, you are greeted by a wonderful living room with fireplace and bump out window to the back. The sunny dining room is near the entrance as well and looks out to the front garden. It leads to a thoughtfully executed kitchen with a side room complete with half bathroom, a door to the backyard and room for a kitchen table, TV and comfy furniture. Upstairs, the primary suite has a walk-in closet and bathroom and off the hall are two light-filled bedrooms and a bathroom that offer restful retreats from the pace of modern life. Finally, there is a partially finished basement that hosts a fireplace and wonderful hangout space and a separate room that houses all utilities and the washer and dryer. Memories are ready to be made at this delightful house perfectly positioned just steps from the historic cobblestones of Germantown Avenue. And, you are a short walk from boutique shopping, award-winning dining, regional rail transit, and the natural beauty of the Wissahickon Valley Park. Do not miss the chance to own this true architectural gem in Philadelphia's premier garden suburb!

37 E. Mermaid Lane | Chestnut Hill Lovely, historic one-of-a-kind home with authentic character and good bones. Tucked away in Chestnut Hill, 37 E. Mermaid Lane is nestled in a mini arboretum setting. A beautiful opportunity to make it your own. This home immediately reveals its character—not through trendy finishes, but through gracious proportions, original details, abundant windows, and light spaces that have evolved naturally over time Step inside and the warmth begins with original hardwood floors that continue throughout the home. A generously sized living room and formal dining room provide comfortable spaces for everyday living and entertaining, while a separate sitting nook is anchored by a working wood-burning fireplace—an inviting reminder of the home's enduring charm. The large eat-in kitchen retains its original wood cabinetry and features a wall oven, electric cooktop, stainless-steel refrigerator and an impressive collection of windows that fills the room with natural light. Two exterior access doors add convenience and connection to the surrounding grounds, while original architectural details, including barn-style doors, contribute another layer of personality. Upstairs, the scale continues. The exceptionally spacious front bedroom offers room for substantial furnishings and includes two walk-in closets plus an additional reach-in closet. Another storage closet provides access to one of the property's most compelling possibilities: a full-length attic with standing height. Currently used for storage with an office positioned toward the front, the attic spans the length of the house and includes two windows. It offers significant potential to be thoughtfully finished into additional living space—perhaps an office, studio, retreat or additional room, subject to applicable approvals. The second bedroom is comfortably proportioned for a queen-size bed and enjoys multiple windows overlooking the property's lush greenery. Natural light is a defining feature. Windows appear throughout the home—including the kitchen, bathrooms and stairway—creating an airy radiant quality and framing views of the surrounding landscape. And the setting deserves its own moment. Mature trees, with one of the last living chestnut tree, beautiful ferns and layers of established greenery give the grounds a wonderfully peaceful, garden environment. The basement is accessible from the yard, while a detached garage and driveway parking for approximately three cars provide valuable off-street parking. Why it matters: This isn't a house that needs to become something entirely different. It is a home with good bones and authentic character, ready for its next owner to preserve what is special while thoughtfully modernizing it for the way they live today. All of this is set within Chestnut Hill, one of Philadelphia's most distinctive neighborhoods—a community celebrated for its historic architecture, tree-lined streets, independent shops and restaurants, neighborhood traditions and proximity to the extraordinary natural beauty of the Wissahickon. 37 E. Mermaid Lane offers something increasingly difficult to find: character, a sanctuary you don't have to manufacture, space with possibilities, beautiful grounds and the opportunity to create a home that feels entirely your own.
