Welcome to 50 W. Highland Avenue, a beautifully restored 1925 Victorian twin in the heart of Chestnut Hill. This exceptional home blends timeless architectural charm with modern updates and features a welcoming wrap-around porch, solid stone exterior, original woodwork throughout, a private two-car driveway, and extensive interior and utility upgrades.Pride of ownership is evident at every turn. In 2017, the current owners completed a comprehensive renovation, including opening the main level to create a spacious living, dining, and kitchen area, fully updating all bathrooms, removing knob-and-tube wiring and upgrading the electrical system, installing new windows throughout, expanding the rear paver patio, and adding a French drain in the basement.Step inside and be captivated by the home's classic details and thoughtful design. Original hardwood floors, beautiful millwork, designer wallpaper, and curated lighting create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. The open-concept main level seamlessly blends historic character with modern living, highlighted by an original wood-burning fireplace and antique brick accent surrounding the main support beam.The first floor features a cozy formal living room with fireplace, spacious dining area, and a stunning chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, premium countertops, and a professional-grade range. A rear den or study provides the perfect space for a home office, reading room, or family retreat, complemented by a beautifully designed powder room. From the study, step outside to the private rear yard featuring an expanded paver patio, lawn area, and garden shed. The fully fenced yard offers exceptional privacy and is ideal for outdoor entertaining, gardening, and pets.Upstairs, the second floor serves as a luxurious primary suite, complete with a spacious bedroom, oversized walk-in closet(can easily convert back to the 2nd bedroom), two fully renovated bathrooms, and a convenient laundry closet. The walk-in closet was originally a second bedroom and could easily be converted back if desired.The third floor offers two additional bedrooms with ample space for family, guests, or flexible work-from-home needs. The unfinished basement provides abundant storage space and room for a workshop or hobby area.A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully updated Victorian home in one of Philadelphia's most sought-after neighborhoods, just steps from Chestnut Hill's shops, many restaurants, parks, the Philadelphia Cricket Club and just 2 blocks to the train station!
