The dazzling and iconic detached, single-family town home on E. Evergreen Avenue in Chestnut Hill is the house for those with impeccable taste, flawless design confidence, and a sophisticated sense of style. Redesigned and altered in the late 1920's by the renowned architect, Edmund B. Gilchrist (1885-1953), it is a fine example of Gilchrist's move into the modernist era. The client was Arthur B. Carles (1882-1952), a noted artist of the time, whose style ranged from Impressionism to Abstract Expressionism. Purchased by a benefactor for the Carles family, the house was remarkably transformed from a modest Victorian to a spectacular home and artist's studio. Gilchrist literally raised the roof to create an expansive third-floor, open-space studio with north light, soaring ceilings, and a stair turret to roof decks with panoramic city views. (The owners think it may be the tallest single family home in Philadelphia, where you can see, on a bluebird day, the skyscrapers of Center City.) The original stone wall at the front of the house is topped with an intricate iron fence with vine designs. Sited up off the street level, the sense of seclusion and privacy is palpable as you walk through the metal front gate to the sunny court yard. The first and second floors are gracious and comfortable. From the court yard enter the spacious front hall, also used as the dining room by the current owners. To the front of the house is the living room with walls of bookcases , a fireplace, and huge windows. To the back of the house is a spacious family room with more casework, and a tastefully updated kitchen with topline appliances and fixtures. The second floor has three bedrooms, a dressing room, and three baths, along with plenty of storage. The third floor studio, presently used as the primary suite is simply indescribable. There is an attached bi-level suite with a kitchenette in the rear of the house, accessible through the main house, but with a separate entrance off the side yard. The outside space and driveway are fully fenced and artfully landscaped. Perhaps for some, the most desirable aspect of this property is its proximity to all the liveliness of Germantown Ave with its shops and restaurants, and numerous cafes. Walk to everything: parks, trains, museums, library, houses of worship, the arboretum, and more. This is a serious house for those with an essential joie de vivre. Come see before it's gone.

Philadelphia at its best. Once in a generation opportunity to own one of the most significant properties in the City, "Binderton" was designed by Cope & Stewardson Architects (also designed for University of Pennsylvania and Princeton). The house was started in 1903 and finished in 1906. The renowned landscape architecture firm of the Olmsted Brothers was engaged to handle landscape, hardscape, and garden design. During their ownership, the present owners purchased 461 W Chestnut Hill Ave. (which had been subdivided from the original plot many years earlier) demolished the modest house that existed, and expanded the property and gardens, and redesigned the driveway. Situated on the quietest street in Chestnut Hill and surrounded by homes of equal caliber, Binderton stands out with its brilliant red brick construction and distinctive Jacobean Revival style , with shaped parapets, and intricately designed chimneys. In most places, the house is designed only one room deep and was built linearly, near the property line at the high side. The brilliance of the Olmsted Brothers work is apparent in the brick walkway that rises gracefully from Towanda Street up a gradual hill with a low step every 10 feet or so. From the stone patio, enter the front door into the formal entry hall with main staircase at the back. The foyer is filled with natural light from two sides, a fireplace, a powder room, and a large coat room with window. Again from the entry hall, walk into, what was called in 1906, the "Ladies' Parlor", a sunny, elegant sitting room with big windows and a fireplace. The formal living room with two distinct seating areas, beamed ceiling , and wood burning fireplace can be accessed from the "ladies' parlor" or directly from a hallway. The exterior door off the living room leads to an open air loggia with tiled floor and finished ceiling. To the left of the front door, head to the formal dining room with fireplace, elegant crystal chandelier and room for a second dining table! The kitchen has everything you want. From the front hall, head through the butler's pantry with lighted cabinetry, porcelain sink , and dishwasher: a great spot to set up the bar on party nights. Further on you reach the supersized chef's kitchen with two sinks, three ovens, a gas range, banquette seating for conversation while prepping dinner, stools at the counter for breakfasts on a busy day, and a big table at the end of the house for casual dinners. Off the kitchen is a huge pantry area and laundry room. Beyond the kitchen end is a glassed in garden porch that will serve myriad functions that make daily living more convenient. Head up the carved and turned staircase and turn left at the top to reach the primary suite, that includes the bedroom with fireplace and door to second floor balcony, a cozy sitting room, great for reading or streaming late into the night, a beautiful, bright corner office/den, and a spacious bathroom with two sinks and walk-in shower. On the second floor to the right of the main stair are four additional bedrooms, two of which share a Jack-and-Jill bath ; and two others that share an additional hall bath. The third floor has three bedrooms, a full bath, and a large central room, perfect for play or privacy. The 1.6 acres that surround the house defy description. Mature trees, abundant perennial beds, lush lawns, and garden rooms; one prettier than the next. The main focus in the summer is the pool area.
