Welcome to 7929 Roanoke Street, a lovely home, on a quiet road, in the heart of Chestnut Hill. With its incredible location, the property is situated only one street off of Germantown Avenue and its plethora of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions.

The home has been lovingly maintained with recent updates: roof, windows, HVAC system, and gas fireplace. Upon entering the kitchen, your eye is immediately drawn to the adjoining solarium, that serves as a dining room under the stars, with skylights, and tranquil views of the serene backyard that remains a visual delight throughout every season of the year. The slate flooring adds to the natural elements that abound in this property. Continue taking in the views from the kitchen area where meal prep is made easy with an oversized, wood top island, which serves as another gathering area.

The basement is an excellent area for storage and potential workshop space, ensuring that you have room for all your needs. Stepping outside, you have an enchanting garden in your private fenced-in backyard and the added convenience of off street parking in your own driveway.

Add to that its vibrant shopping district, a bucolic setting of tree-lined streets, a walkability score of 91 out of 100, and historic architecture, and it’s easy to understand why Chestnut Hill has been named “one of the top seven urban enclaves in the country†by Forbes website, and as a Distinctive Destination by the National Trust.
