Original architectural features have been well-preserved while incorporating all-new systems, including dual-zone HVAC, 200-amp electrical service, plumbing, a high-efficiency water heater, a new cast iron sewer line, a new roof, a fully updated kitchen, and modern bathrooms. Set on a spacious lot with front, side, and back yards, the house is elevated from the street, offering privacy and a sense of retreat. Enter through a charming covered front porch and original double doors into a bright and airy interior with gleaming hardwood floors, high ceilings, and wide hallways. The living room to the left features a large picture window overlooking the front porch and one of several original fireplaces with intricate tilework. A standout feature is the expansive eat-in kitchen with a granite island, butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, and oversized windows that flood the space with light, overlooking an antique brick patio. Beyond the kitchen, a mudroom with laundry, a powder room, and access to an outdoor patio and yard provide added convenience. Ascend the staircase to the second floor, where you'll find a spacious bedroom with a fireplace and a cedar closet. The hall bath exudes classic elegance with a cast iron tub, pedestal sink, and marble flooring. The primary bedroom, complete with a fireplace, opens to a walk-in closet and dressing area lined with custom built-in closets. The en-suite bathroom is a true retreat, featuring a glass-enclosed shower with hand-crafted Waterworks tiles, an air-jetted soaking tub, a double vanity, a floor-to-ceiling custom mirror, a fireplace, and a deep linen closet. The top floor includes three additional bedrooms, one with dramatic vaulted cathedral ceilings and striking pendant lighting. A full bathroom on this floor features a stylish vanity and a frameless glass shower. Part of Germantown Avenue's rich history and Mt. Airy's charm, this home is a short walk to a variety of local favorites. Enjoy baked goods and high-end cakes at Frosted Fox, great coffee and New York bagels at Adelie, and high-end ice cream at Zsa’s. Savor Mediterranean delights at Melalani, pizza at Fino’s, and unique drinks and food at Young American, a cider house with a lovely patio. Grocery shopping is convenient with Grocery Outlet, offering a great selection of fresh produce. The house is located on the original estate of Benjamin Chew, a former Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. This home is within walking distance of several historic sites and has a unique history as the childhood home of Agnes von Kurowsky, who played a key role in Ernest Hemingway’s life. A brief romance between Agnes and Hemingway is believed to have inspired the character of Catherine Barkley in "A Farewell to Arms".
