Welcome to this charming Chestnut Hill colonial replete with elegant large rooms, a layout perfect for entertaining and a stunning surprise secret garden that allows for total privacy. The flagstone patio, set between the kitchen and living room, looks out over a sweep of lawn bordered by flowers and mature plantings. The kitchen has granite counters, stainless steel appliances and an eating area with an all glass view of the garden as well as access to the two car attached garage. Built in 1921 by the well known local architect Carl Ziegler, a two story addition was added later creating a lovely living room below and a main suite with dressing room and bath above. A separate dining room and cozy library with fireplace and built-in bookshelves complete the first floor layout. There are four additional bedrooms and three hall baths as well as a home office with built-in bookshelves, desk and window seat overlooking the garden. One can walk everywhere from this house with its close proximity to Fairmount Park, the train lines, the local hospital and schools and all of the convenient shops that Chestnut Hill has to offer. And, you would never know it when sitting on your patio overlooking your garden! Hot water heater is new and house has been treated for termites and is under contract.
