125 W Springfield Ave

Φιλαδέλφεια, PA 19118

Welcome to 125 West Springfield Avenue, located in the desirable St. Martins district in Chestnut Hill. Perched above a tree-lined street, this stately twin home sits within a serene, open setting with views of nature from every room. It is filled with charm and function, as it has been tastefully updated with designer finishes throughout. There are rarely homes of this size and condition available in this coveted historic neighborhood! A flagstone path through the lush front yard leads you to the front porch where the home greets you with a bright, central foyer with sweeping, open stairs that wash all three floors with natural light. You will immediately note the high ceilings and "butterfly" floorplan, which are not typical of twins in this area and give the sensation of an airy single. The living room has large windows that capture the morning light, a wood-burning fireplace and built-in cabinetry. In addition there is a large dining room with bay windows, a butler's pantry with laundry, updated kitchen with back stairs to the second floor, and a mudroom complete with a half bath and access to the backyard. The home also has a full, unfinished basement with a workshop and plenty of storage. Follow the central staircase up to a spacious landing on the second floor to find three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The floor is currently configured with a master suite complete with a bright home office and three closets, and a large family room with a gas fireplace. The third floor of the home contains two generous bedrooms, a full bathroom, and another functional landing with built-in bookcases. Outside, the delightful backyard is an entertainer's dream with expansive sight lines of blue sky and mature trees. It is fully fenced and contains two brick patios, a schist firepit and flagstone BBQ pad, layered evergreen and perennial landscaping, raised vegetable and herb garden beds, and a substantial shed ideal for storing bikes and lawn tools. The back gate is on level with Crefeld Street, giving quick access to Willow Grove Avenue. From there, you are steps away from all of the boutiques, grocery stores, and restaurants on Germantown Avenue; and a quick walk to Pastorius Park, SEPTA train stations, and the Wissahickon Valley Park.
