Property Description
Set behind a handsome stone wall and wrought iron fencing, the home exudes European charm with tall windows, decorative balconies, and a private flagstone courtyard. Spanning over 4,400 square feet across three levels, it offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half baths. Timeless details include original hardwood floors, custom millwork, and a graceful staircase with grasscloth wallpaper. Elegant living and dining rooms with a fireplace provide inviting entertaining spaces, while the renovated kitchen features white cabinetry, a marble peninsula, Viking range, and an adjacent family room. A private rear suite with its own entrance and kitchenette offers flexible living or work space, with a separate staircase leading to the bedroom and bath above.
Upstairs, three bedrooms and a second-floor laundry offer comfort and convenience. Architectural plans are available for future customization, thoughtfully designed to enhance the existing layout. The third-floor studio, now a stunning primary suite, remains the home's centerpiece. Once the creative sanctuary of Arthur B. Carles, it still features his original drawing table, soaring ceilings, and soft northern light. With open-plan living, a half bath, and custom built-ins, this space is a true retreat.
A spiral staircase inside the home's turret leads to a two-level rooftop deck with sweeping views of Center City and beyond, one of the highest single home private rooftops in Philadelphia. The outdoor areas are equally impressive, with brick and flagstone hardscaping, mature landscaping, and a lush garden setting. A rear wrought iron gate opens to two private parking spaces, an exceptional amenity in this walkable neighborhood.
Nestled in one of Philadelphia's most beloved neighborhoods, this home supports a truly walkable lifestyle, just steps from charming boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, and the scenic Wissahickon trails. Professionals relocating from New York or D.C. will appreciate the home's easy access to both Chestnut Hill East and West train lines, along with nearby regional highways. Come experience the warmth, beauty, and history of 191 E. Evergreen Avenue and make a timeless piece of Chestnut Hill your own.
