Welcome to 42 Summit Street with a handsome stone wall and circular driveway to greet you! This home, designed in an Italianate/Second Empire style circa 1863 by renowned surveyor and architect J.C. Sidney, was occupied by prominent Chestnut Hillers the Heebner Family for 74 years! The home received a significant upgrade in 1887 when details were added like the glorious wraparound porch, inlaid and parquet flooring, a summer kitchen/butler pantry, and main bedroom suite. There are countless original details, including exquisite murals uncovered on many ceilings (with more for the next owners to uncover!), molding and woodwork, that make this home a true treat that unfolds before your eyes. Along with historic significance, you have a layout and updated kitchen renovation that are a necessity for everyday living. The home offers 11 ft ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and central air! On the first floor there is a large living room, sitting room, proper dining room, powder room with a 17th Century sink from Italy, and expanded kitchen. The current owners contracted this thoughtful kitchen renovation in 2016, which expanded the footprint, painstakingly restored some original cabinetry, and added new cabinets, Thermador and SubZero appliances, and glorious soapstone countertops and sink. Climb the beautiful, carved staircase to the second floor, home to the main bedroom suite. Updated by the current owners to include custom-painted French doors and numerous antique elements like Belgian paving tiles and decorative shower tiles. Three more nicely sized bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the second floor. On the third floor, there are three more bedrooms and a full bath(with cast iron clawfoot tub), giving you the option of spreading out to have a possible office, nanny suite, or to tuck your in-laws. Additional upgrades include a new roof on the 1st and 2nd levels(2022) and a new HVAC(2016, including conversion from oil to gas). Outdoor space abounds, where there is a flat side yard and nice backyard complete with a brick patio for your grill. (And for those interested in athletic karma, the backyard is currently a training site for a reigning World Champion) There are numerous trees in the yard including tulip magnolia, blue wisteria, and Japanese maple. You'll be 30 minutes to downtown Philadelphia or conveniently 2 turns to 309 to Trenton for the Amtrak train to NYC. You're just steps away from all Chestnut Hill has to offer with easy walkability to boutique shopping, fine dining and street festivals, Chestnut Hill Farmers Market, beautiful Wissahickon Valley Park, Chestnut Hill West AND East Regional Rail lines. A walkable and sublime lifestyle in every way. Don't miss your chance to live the life on Summit Street!
