This special home is in the original building of historic Leamy House built in 1901 and which was converted to condos in 1982. Majestically situated on beautifully manicured grounds within a short walk to charming Chestnut Hill, the spacious home has high ceilings, very large windows, deep window sills and lovely architectural details rarely found elsewhere. Enter the front of the complex through an impressive wrought iron gate and stroll along the short walkway to the large covered front porch and into the inviting foyer. There is also a reserved parking space for the owner close to the back door. Take special notice of all the floors which are the original hardwood and beautifully refinished. The main floor consists of the foyer, living room with brick fireplace and especially pretty mantel, dining room, kitchen and powder room, providing an easy natural flow for entertaining many guests. The cook in the family will certainly enjoy the magnificently updated kitchen which includes abundant cabinetry, long granite countertops with coordinating tile backsplash and top of the line stainless steel appliances. Upstairs you will find a cute hallway nook for a quiet reading place, two very spacious bedrooms, both with fireplaces, the beautifully updated bathroom with an extra large shower, and the stackable laundry closet. Unlike a lot of older homes there is nice closet space in this one and a full basement for all your extras. As an extra bonus, there is a community vegetable garden in the Leamy House complex!
The location is exceptional; walk to the shops, restaurants and activities in Chestnut hill; the train is just a block away and you are close to Fairmount Park trails. Leamy House is truly one of the area's best kept secrets. Schedule your private visit soon."
