115 W Chestnut Hill Ave

Philadelphia, PA 19118

Move right into this beautifully renovated, stately Victorian with wrap around porch, perched above West Chestnut Hill Avenue just a block from the trailheads of Fairmount Park. The houses lining this street were designed by some of Philadelphia's finest residential architects, and 115 is no exception. Designed by William H. Decker in 1888, this home features sensitive upgrades coupled with the original architectural details, such as coffered ceilings, crown molding, gleaming inlaid hardwood floors, deep windowsills, stained glass windows, Mercer tiles and more.
