Bucolic Oasis In Historic House Surrounded by Meadow & Woods

Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, United States
Rates from USD $4950 | Monthly

House | Entire Home | House Sitting Negotiable
Available Dates:
From August 1, 2026 until July 31, 2027

Description

If you are looking for a retreat from urban living just outside the city limits, with easy access to commuter rail and Chestnut Hill shopping, look no further. This turn of the century home is formerly part of a much larger estate, and possesses too many unique qualities to effectively capture in words. Situated a mere half mile from the SEPTA Chestnut Hill East train stop at Gravers Lane, you will have little sense of being so near to the amenities of Philadelphia. The main floor includes an open plan living and dining area, an updated eat-in kitchen with Fisher and Paykel induction range, Sub Zero fridge and pantry with wine fridge, three bedrooms and two full bathrooms; a fourth bedroom and WC are upstairs. Radiator heating, and central air conditioning. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout, and new double-pane windows. There is a remarkable enclosed porch with views to the west of field and woods. There is a large parking area, a garden, and nearly two and a half acres of planted trees and meadow for exploring. We are looking for responsible adults/empty nesters, or a family with an older child and preferably no pets. If you are interested, please let us know a bit about your situation.
