Property Description

Welcome to 39 W Gravers Lane, a detached, 4-bedroom, 2-full- and 1-half-bath residence located on a quiet, sidewalk-lined street in the heart of Chestnut Hill. 39 W Gravers blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful updates across three floors of living space. The first floor offers an open-concept layout and includes the living room, kitchen, dining area and powder room. The living room features a large, open, light-filled space centered around a wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases. From the living room, you seamlessly transition to the large addition to the home housing the kitchen and extended dining area. Rich hardwood flooring and abundant natural light offer an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere in this space. The kitchen includes maple cabinetry, soapstone counters, an oversized sink, stainless steel appliances and a Wolf professional range. Counter seating and room for a graciously sized dining table and chairs offer plenty of space for meals and entertaining. French doors lead to the backyard and a slate patio, the perfect setup for outdoor dining. The fully fenced (new cedar fence in 2026) and professionally landscaped yard features mature trees and perimeter garden beds filled with perennials. The second floor includes a spacious primary bedroom with multiple closets, a built-in shelving unit for added storage, and large bathroom. The second floor also offers two additional generously sized bedrooms and a shared full bathroom. The third floor features an oversized, light-filled space perfect for a home office, playroom, or fourth bedroom. The unfinished basement includes extensive storage, washer and dryer and a bonus room currently being used as a home gym. Located in a Top of the Hill location, 39 West Gravers combines classic charm, modern luxury, and meticulous craftsmanship in one of Philadelphia's most sought-after neighborhoods. Perfectly positioned moments from SEPTA Regional Rail, the Philadelphia Cricket Club, the Wissahickon trails, and the vibrant shops, art galleries, restaurants, and cafs along Germantown Avenue, the location offers exceptional convenience and connectivity. With easy access to major roadways, commuting to Center City, the Philadelphia Airport and beyond is effortless while still enjoying the charm and character that make Chestnut Hill such a special place to call home.
