432 W Moreland Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19118

Thoughtfully designed by Walter Durham, this French Colonial home is an elegant original located on one of the nicest streets in Chestnut Hill. Details include built-in cabinetry, wood floors, Armoir-style wood doors, quality hardware, substantial crown moldings, and large, well-positioned windows that bring natural light throughout the home. The walled courtyard leads to a grand foyer with marble floors, a graciously curved staircase, and an attached powder room. The kitchen, recently renovated by craftsmen at Cullen, Inc., offers beaded inset cabinets, stainless steel and custom-paneled Thermador appliances, a breakfast room with access to a new patio, and a mudroom leading to a two-car garage. The living room is sunny and spacious with 11-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. French doors open to the southeast facing patio, offering views of the one-acre lot and private frog pond. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace, while the welcoming study has a gas fireplace. The main floor master suite features a sunken tub and large walk-in closet with built-in storage. The second floor has an office/in-law suite living area and three bedrooms, each with an attached full bathroom. One bathroom was recently added and features new tile and vanity sink. The lower level is partially finished with a family room, a work room with laundry access, a Bilco door, and lots of storage. Located in a private setting, this gem is easy walking distance to Wissahickon Valley Park, Pastorious Park, The Philadelphia Cricket Club, Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, St. Martins train station, and Chestnut Hill's charming village shops and restaurants. In addition to the renovated kitchen, there is a new roof, newer HVAC, and new windows on the second floor.
