PRICE REDUCED - A unique 3 bedroom top of the hill twin set back from Rex Ave and accessible via a shared driveway is available for just the 2nd time in 20 years. With two bedrooms on the main floor, this private, low-maintenance home is ideal for one-floor living. Multiple skylights provide abundant natural light and a desirable warmth throughout the main floor. The third bedroom, a family room, and a large, versatile open space are found downstairs. Newer electric utilities located on the lower level have been carefully maintained with service performed annually. In 2011 the walls were removed from the kitchen and a new countertop and cabinets were installed, opening the living room and dining room to even more light. Outside the front entrance surrounding the driveway is a curated garden with plantings that flourish and bloom throughout the growing seasons. A private side patio with pergola and access to the living room by sliding doors offers ideal space for quiet reflection. Just steps away is an informal patio at the front of the house. A mere five-minute walk to the "top of the hill" leads to what Chestnut Hill offers: unique shops, inspired dining, and public transportation to downtown Philadelphia and beyond.
