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.

Welcome to 500 Telner Street, one of the finest Woodward houses in Chestnut Hill. Built in 1957, but resembling a 1925 house typical of the aesthetics of Chestnut Hill, this lovely estate was custom built for George Woodward, Jr. and his wife Harriet for their personal home. The Woodward family is well-known for building Chestnut Hill’s most charming estates. Its park-like setting and charming dovecote gracing the front entrance, surrounded by pink azaleas in Spring, make this fairy tale “cottage” come to life. This is one of the rare homes directly on Wissahickon Valley Park. Timeless charm, so typical in Woodward architecture, is brought to its zenith in this stone home, custom built to plans now archived at the Chestnut Hill Conservancy, with seemingly no expense spared. All the modern amenities you love, such as central air, a full 2 car garage, an attached separate apartment with its own private entrance, 5 full and 3 half baths (each bedroom and apartment with their own full bath), and enormous closets and attic space, offer comfort and convenience. With 8 inch deep granite window sills due to the thick walls, the house is exceptionally quiet due to the insulation, solid doors and stucco walls. Uniquely, the primary bedroom suite occupies an entire wing on the ground floor and features a spacious bath with dual bathrooms, each with its own shower or tub. The generous bedroom includes French doors opening to a private patio, a marble fireplace, built-in dresser, and separate closets, along with an adjoining sitting room with an additional marble fireplace. This wing creates total privacy from the other living spaces in the house. The grand living room, with an open floor plan connecting to the dining room, boasts 5 sets of French doors that are lit with morning sun, with an unobscured view filled with trees as it overlooks Cresheim Valley. Since 2013, multiple improvements have been made, including a new main kitchen with radiant floor heating, a Miele dish washer, Viking stove, convection oven, and a generous pantry complete with a cozy, sunny home office. The kitchen in the apartment is also new, with granite countertops, gas range and dishwasher, and added in 2020, a spacious southern exposure insulated glass addition opens out from the living room for your hot tub, 4 season relaxation and plant cultivation or display. A kitchenette is also located here. The circular and garage access driveways were repaved in 2023. The generous studio apartment has a separate entrance and contains multiple windows, a full bath and ample closets. The second floor contains 3 bedrooms and luxuriously, one full bath for each bedroom. Adding to the home's flexible layout is the possibility of complete separation of upstairs and downstairs due to the private entrance access to both the upstairs and the apartment. A large slate floor foyer at the front door absorbs all the comings and goings and stands the test of time. Located over the furnace room, the slate remains warm all winter long. A massive “playroom” in the finished basement, complete with fireplace, could be an exercise space, a guest bedroom (it has a large window), office, child or party space. While laundry is conveniently located on the ground floor, there is plumbing here in a large closet for another laundry facility. There is also a half bath in the basement and a very generous workshop space as well. An additional finished room which, at the owner’s option, could be reserved for the resident of the apartment to enlarge its capacity, or kept as part of the main residence.
