Description

Charming and Updated Twin Home Coming Soon in Chestnut Hill! Welcome to 117 W Gravers Ln, a beautifully renovated gem nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Chestnut Hill. This inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home combines classic charm with modern upgrades and is just steps away from the boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, and scenic trails that make this neighborhood so special. Lovingly maintained and upgraded by its owners since 2017, this home is truly move-in ready. As you approach the house, you’ll immediately be drawn to the festive front garden and meticulously cared-for exterior, complete with a cozy front porch. Step through the vestibule, and you're greeted by an abundance of natural light that fills the open-concept living and dining areas. Thoughtful architectural details, custom built-ins, high ceilings, and rich hardwood floors create an inviting, refined atmosphere. Even as the sun sets, recessed lighting on both the first and second floors ensures the home remains bright and welcoming. Perfect for entertaining, the spacious dining area is ideal for holiday dinners, with plenty of room to expand your table as needed. The heart of the home, however, is the newly renovated kitchen, featuring white quartz countertops, neutral cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a cheerful glass tile backsplash. A fully renovated bathroom and a convenient mudroom/laundry area, located just off the backyard, complete the first floor. Upstairs, a striking staircase railing adds character and charm to the space and leads to 3 bedrooms, a 5x8 walk-in closet with a window (a rare find in this area), and a beautifully updated bathroom with radiant floor heating to keep your feet extra warm during winter months. The private, fenced backyard serves as a peaceful retreat, perfect for entertaining, unwinding, or watching children and pets play safely. This home is located in one of Chestnut Hill’s most desirable areas, known for its scenic beauty, easy street parking, and quiet, tree-lined streets. Just a short walk to Pastorius Park for summer concerts, Wissahickon Trails for outdoor adventures, and Germantown Avenue—only one block away—for shopping and dining (don’t miss the charming Fareway Market!). You’ll also be minutes from Morris Arboretum and Gardens, Chestnut Hill Hospital and two SEPTA train stations making commuting a breeze. Finding a home that’s been tastefully renovated, well-maintained, and consistently updated is a rare treat. The full list of recent upgrades and updates are far too long to list out here so be sure to check out the attached documents which provide all the details. Don’t miss out on this opportunity! Showings begin October 10, with an Open House on Saturday, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM.
