It’s Travel Tuesday, and in honor of Independence Day this week, we’re taking a look at a gorgeous property in our nation’s birthplace – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!
Welcome to 22 Summit Street, located on the first residential street in the historic Chestnut Hill neighborhood. This home is a true architectural treasure, built in the early 19th century in the Italianate Style. As you approach the main structure, the eye is drawn towards the impressive cornice structures that line the flat, hipped roof. Tall first-floor windows abound on all sides, highly typical of this style made popular in the United States around the turn of the last century.
This charming residence offers 3,600 square feet of living space, five bedrooms, three bathrooms and one half-bathroom. A wide-open main floor living space is perfectly suited for both everyday living and entertaining.
As you pass through the front hall, an inviting living room beckons on the left. This light-filled space boasts 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and a wood-burning fireplace.
An open-concept kitchen with modern upgrades and rustic finishes is sure to be one of your favorite rooms in the house, offering large windows overlooking a lush backyard.
Upstairs, discover a cozy master suite, complete with its own fireplace – creating the perfect retreat from those Pennsylvania winters.
The outside area offers several fabulous spaces, including a charming brick patio. The .43+/- acre lot is beautifully landscaped and requires minimal maintenance. A greenhouse, garden shed and detached two-car garage complete the grounds of this charming home.
Enjoy historic charm in an idyllic location, mere moments away from shops, restaurants, public transporation and nature trails. Visit this classic Philadelphia home the next time you’re passing through!
