Two working fireplaces are highlighted in the living areas (one converted to gas). All electrical and plumbing have been upgraded or replaced, in addition to an ultra-high-efficiency Lochnivar boiler providing heat and unlimited hot water while maintaining low heating costs, plus new central high velocity forced air. An approximately 1,800 square-foot basement sits below, with custom workbenches, shelving and ample storage for hidden treasures. Stepping outside, you will discover a garden oasis covering the ¾ acre lot, sitting on one of the most coveted streets in Chestnut Hill. The incredible landscape design features mature native plantings, a large flagstone patio, and black-metal fencing (and electric entry gate) surrounding the entire property. Wiring for a PetSafe invisible fence system is also in place for any furry friends. An oversized 2-car detached garage, wired for 15A electric-car charging, sits at the back of the lot, with additional parking space for up to 5 vehicles. Out front is a beautiful pond and fountain. The current owners have taken great pride in this stunning property, restoring it to its original elegance and making thoughtful upgrades with no expense spared. It stands as a truly remarkable example of the historic splendor of Chestnut Hill, with all the modern conveniences and updates one might desire in a home.

Rare 1.02-acre estate parcel in the prestigious St. Martins section of Chestnut Hill—officially subdivided into two buildable 0.51-acre RSD-1 single-family lots. This extraordinary property at 530–536 W Moreland Avenue offers unmatched flexibility: build one signature estate residence spanning the full acre, or build two custom single-family homes, one on each approved half-acre lot. Both lots are recognized by L&I and may carry distinct addresses (530 and 536), offering immediate planning clarity. This premier location is among the most coveted in Chestnut Hill—a quiet, tree-lined residential pocket known for its stately homes and walkability. From this address, enjoy effortless access to the Philadelphia Cricket Club, Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, Wissahickon Skating Club, Valley Green/Wissahickon trails, and the vibrant shops and restaurants of historic Germantown Avenue. Properties of this size and pedigree rarely come to market in Chestnut Hill. The former residence has been demolished, leaving a clear and ready development site. A grandfathered existing garage remains in the rear corner of the 536 side—a valuable zoning advantage that allows a larger garage or accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to be built with reduced setback restrictions. Included for buyer review are conceptual architectural elevations created by Cuningham Architects, illustrating both (1) a single estate home spanning the full acre, and (2) two smaller homes designed for each half-acre lot. These designs are optional and provided for inspiration only. The architect is available to work directly with the buyer to customize or complete full plans, or buyers may bring their own architect and builder. A recommended builder is available upon request, though buyers may choose any team they prefer. The subdivision has been formally approved by Philadelphia L&I. Zoning: RSD-1 (Single-Family Residential). Survey, zoning permit, easement documentation, and Seller’s Disclosure are available.

In the heart of Chestnut Hill, this exceptional European-inspired contemporary residence offers a rare blend of architectural living, organic warmth, and seamless connection to nature. Privately tucked behind a stately wall on nearly half an acre, the 5-bedroom, 5.1-bath home feels quietly removed from the everyday while remaining just moments from the Wissahickon, Germantown Avenue’s celebrated shops and restaurants, and convenient access to Center City. A gated driveway leads to a heated attached two-car garage with interior access, with infrastructure already in place for electric vehicle charging — reinforcing the home’s sense of privacy, comfort, and ease. Beyond the bright, gallery-like entry, the eye is immediately drawn through the home toward its dramatic centerpiece: a spectacular glass conservatory rising at the rear of the residence like a private botanical pavilion. Flooded with natural light and framed by treetop views, the space blurs the line between indoors and out, anchored by a soaring antique chandelier and an oversized fountain repurposed as a sculptural planter. More than simply a sunroom, it is the architectural heart of the home — and the room you will inevitably find yourself gathering in. Designed for both large-scale entertaining and intimate everyday living, the surrounding spaces balance modern luxury with warmth and texture. The living and dining rooms flow seamlessly into the conservatory, while a custom built-in wine and spirits cabinet reinforces the home’s effortless entertaining aesthetic. At the center of the home, the warm contemporary kitchen combines clean lines, professional-grade appliances, skylit natural light, and understated functionality. Just beyond, a sunlit breakfast room or reading lounge with shelving opens onto a covered veranda overlooking the surrounding landscape and mature trees — an inviting setting for morning coffee, conversation, or quiet work-from-home moments. A dramatic vaulted family room introduces a moodier counterpoint to the home’s airy entertaining spaces, pairing rich tones, oversized windows, a statement mantel, and integrated office alcove to create a comfortable lounge-like environment for relaxing or working from home. A nearby main-level laundry room adds everyday practicality. Designed with comfort and privacy in mind, all five bedrooms feature ensuite baths. The main-level primary suite offers generous proportions and a calm, boutique hotel-inspired atmosphere. The ensuite bath features a soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, single vanity, and clean contemporary finishes, while just beyond, the suite extends outdoors to a secluded walled courtyard with hot tub, private outdoor shower, and lounge area nestled beneath the trees. The main family wing includes additional ensuite bedrooms with spacious closets and flexible accommodations for family or guests. Separate from this wing, two distinct upper-level suites are accessed by independent staircases, creating exceptional privacy and flexibility. One functions as a true second primary suite, complete with a lounge-style sitting area, spa-like bath, and private roof deck tucked among the treetops. The second upper-level suite offers ideal accommodations for guests, an au pair, multigenerational living, or the ultimate tucked-away hangout space. The partially finished lower level provides flexible recreation, fitness, or lounge space, while a substantial unfinished area offers additional laundry area, extensive storage and utility space. Additional outdoor seating areas tucked throughout the property further enhance the home’s immersive connection to the surrounding landscape. Ideally located just steps from Valley Green, St. Martins train station, and the boutiques and restaurants along Germantown Avenue, this architecturally curated residence is truly a home that must be experienced in person to fully appreciate the atmosphere, scale, and remarkable sense of escape it offers within one

Set deeply back from coveted Gravers Lane, this unique home offers the elusive combination of "Top of the Hill" convenience and complete, immersive privacy, defined by an extraordinary quarter-acre garden oasis that is truly rare for a home of this manageable scale. Functioning like a private, four-season treehouse where the home's ample windows frame spectacular views of nature at every turn, this meticulously cared-for home, one of the last of the storied Woodward builds, is a true gardener’s paradise that feels blissfully disconnected from the outside world. Wander down the long stone path from Gravers Lane, flanked by lush plantings and a striking paperbark maple tree, to arrive at the home's entrance. The seamless connection between the interior and these gorgeous grounds is established on the main level, where a roomy foyer with a convenient coat closet and powder room leads to an open-layout living and dining space. The living room features two walls of striking windows which frame the lush landscape, and a cozy gas fireplace surrounded by custom built-in shelving. Just steps away, the ample dining area transitions beautifully to the outdoors via French doors, leading to a stone-paved side patio perfectly positioned for al fresco dining or quiet afternoons lounging beneath the weeping cherry tree. The recently refreshed kitchen is well-equipped with brand new stainless steel appliances, and was utilized as the home kitchen of a professional chef. A convenient door opens right out to a beautiful brick-paved patio, perfect for grilling. Upstairs, the home's elevated treehouse vibe comes alive across three bright bedrooms that offer sweeping views of the canopy and garden below, including a serene primary suite with an en suite bathroom and a second full bath off the hallway. The finished lower level functions beautifully as a rec room or fitness space, directly adjacent to a clean, dry utility area, dedicated laundry room, and a large storage pantry equipped with wine storage. Back outside, the expansive, street-to-street grounds slope gently behind the house, weaving together a lush tapestry of mature shade plants, Japanese maples, hydrangeas, hostas, and more. At the rear of the home, a meandering path is anchored by a stately Katsura tree at its center. Heavy foliage and mature forsythia block the rear cul-de-sac of Sunrise Lane from view for most of the year, amplifying the sense of total seclusion. Conveniently located just to the side of the home, a detached garage offers ample space for parking, plus a full second level for storage. The driveway can host two additional vehicles. 126 W Gravers Lane is a peaceful, plant-filled sanctuary that feels worlds away from everything, yet is positioned just an easy stroll from the charming bustle, boutiques, and dining of Germantown Avenue.

Perfectly positioned between Germantown Avenue and Pastorius Park — just one block in either direction — this restored Chestnut Hill home offers walkability to shops and restaurants, everyday access to green space, easy reach of the Wissahickon trails, and the added flexibility of a detached studio tucked just beyond the courtyard. A stone single with a distinctive mansard roof, the home has been thoughtfully reworked with a clear design sensibility and consistent material choices throughout. Exposed rafters, deep-set windows, and layered materials give the home texture and warmth, while modern upgrades — updated systems, central air, and a reimagined kitchen and baths — support comfortable daily living. You enter into the front parlor: floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving, a window seat, white oak floors that run through the entire first floor. Next is the bright, comfortable living room with a stylish ceiling fan and original millwork. Basement access is from this room. Through to the heart of the home — the kitchen: heavy timber beams overhead, soapstone counters, a professional-style range beneath a custom vent hood, structural floating shelves, and a dining area anchored by botanical wallpaper. A room that works as hard as it looks good. A side door connects directly to the driveway. Throughout the home, lighting, paint choices, and built-ins added by the current owners reflect an intentional and cohesive approach to design. Four bedrooms and two full baths span three levels, with every nook considered. The second-floor bath: freestanding soaking tub, zero-entry shower, heated marble floors, heated towel bars, matte black fixtures. The third-floor bath: a jack-and-jill between two bedrooms with a deep green tile shower and live-edge wood vanity shelf. The basement provides additional storage, laundry, and a powder room for everyday convenience. Outside, a courtyard sits beneath a pergola that fills with Concord grape vines each summer — enjoyed as an outdoor dining and lounge area with the feel of a tucked-away European courtyard. Off-street parking for two cars adds everyday practicality. Just beyond the courtyard sits a former three-car garage, now an approximately 500-square-foot artist's studio with additional storage. Filled with natural light and equipped with its own mini-split heating and cooling system, it offers a rare layer of flexibility — studio, office, workshop, fitness space, guest overflow. Set in the heart of Chestnut Hill, this is a home with a point of view — positioned for buyers who recognize what they're looking at.
