We are proud to present one of Chestnut Hill~s finest homes. Built in 1975 by its owner and builder, Edward Driscoll, this colonial revival house was constructed in the Williamsburg style. It sits on almost two acres of impeccably landscaped grounds overlooking a golf course and the sunsets of Fairmount Park. The fenced yard with wonderful outdoor space includes retaining walls, a formal perennial garden, specimen planting and a colonial style tool house of note. The attention to detail of the period is truly impressive. A sweeping driveway leads one to the front door with its bullet windowed transom. The gambrel roof lines set the stage for a traditional brick colonial layout with a large center hall and both living and dining room on either side. With five fireplaces, custom millwork, original hardware, built-in bookshelves, random width pegged floors, all done in the Williamsburg style, there is no stone left unturned! The open front hall leads you to a light filled Family room with a hearth fireplace, a wet bar and built-in bookshelves. With doors to the outside everywhere, this layout lends itself to entertaining . The kitchen has a separate breakfast room and is conveniently located. With granite counters and custom built cabinetry it completes the first floor layout. The second floor has three suites which include five bedrooms, three baths and a large play room. The master suite has a fireplace, two walk-in closets, its own bath with tub and shower and a possible sitting room or nursery. The second suite has a bedroom, walk-in closet and its own bath. And the final suite consists of two rooms and a bath. It is an expansive layout with many possibilities including the large family room at the top of the stairs. This two story house is constructed of brick, concrete and was built to last. With a two car garage and a morning sun greenhouse off of the kitchen, it is a true gem. It is within walking distance to the train to center city, the shops of Chestnut Hill and the trails of Fairmount Park.
