Property Description
Don't miss this opportunity! A secluded residential enclave of 18 homes in Chestnut Hill, "Druim Moir,” Gaelic for "high ridge," offers beautiful country living overlooking the hiking trails of the Wissahickon, Forbidden Drive and Valley Green. This is a once and a blue moon opportunity to live in one of the 3 townhomes located in the main residence, “The Castle”. It was originally built for Henry Howard Houston, by The Hewitt Brothers, in 1885. In the early 1980s descendants of the Houston family divided the mansion into 3 townhouses and built new homes fashioned after an English Cotswold village. Offering 4500 sq. ft., 3 Beds (could be 4) 3.5 Baths. Spacious light-filled rooms, 12 foot ceilings, 9ft windows, and views and clean lines abound. The house has its own private fenced garden with deck, which overlooks The historically certified Druim Moir Formal Gardens and the Wissahickon Park. A low monthly Druim Moir Homeowner's association fee maintains the 10 acres of commonly owned land which includes undulating pristine lawns, stately trees, and private entrance drives of this development, which is acclaimed for its conservation and architectural integrity. Local Wissahickon schist was used for the walls, Eastern granite for the trim. This lovely home offers low maintenance living and spectacular green space beyond the backyard, Everything you love about living on a historic Chestnut Hill estate with none of the maintenance, just 1/2 mile from the train Line to Center City and 1 mile from the quaint cobblestone main street of Chestnut Hill. This home is an open canvas waiting for new owners to make it into their very own magical tree house castle, priced accordingly for needed cosmetic improvements.
