Nestled on a picturesque .40-acre lot in Chestnut Hill, this architectural gem was designed by Hazelhurst & Huckel and built in 1890 by William Steele. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated over the years, this home preserves its original Richardsonian Romanesque style, crafted from local Wissahickon schist, and is adorned with striking features such as graceful curves, battlements, clipped gables, and a corner turret. Spanning 6,600+ square feet, St. Martins offers superb entertainment flow and exquisite outdoor spaces, including a beautifully landscaped patio with ample room for relaxation and gatherings. The home's interiors are equally captivating, featuring quarter-sawn oak walls and intricate millwork that remain unpainted, alongside restored hardwood floors, all meticulously preserved. The home boasts six unique fireplaces, leaded and stained glass windows, cove ceilings, and detailed plaster moldings, all in pristine condition. On the main level, you'll find spacious formal living and dining rooms with original wall sconces, a well-appointed kitchen with generous storage, granite countertops, high-quality appliances, a powder room, and an extensive office/library. The second floor offers a luxurious primary suite with a dressing room, two additional bedrooms, a second bath, and a convenient laundry room. Once a separate apartment, the third floor features four bedrooms, a remodeled bathroom that honors the home's original aesthetic, and in-wall storage. Enjoy proximity to Chestnut Hill's vibrant shops, restaurants, schools, and cultural institutions, as well as easy access to Center City, major highways, and regional rail. Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, the Philadelphia Cricket Club, and the Chestnut Hill West train station are just steps away, making commuting to your favorite destinations effortless. Listed as "Significant" in the Chestnut Hill Historic District Inventory and featured on the 1895 Bromley Philadelphia Atlas, St. Martins is a rare offering. The home’s light-filled rooms, large rounded windows, and unique architectural elements add charm. This home seamlessly blends historic grandeur with modern conveniences—ready to welcome its next steward. ᐧ
