This classic Rex Avenue home, featuring 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, offers a formal living room, formal dining room, large kitchen, private study, and a spacious bonus room (ideal as a playroom, additional office, family room, or fifth bedroom) with a full bathroom on the first level. The second level includes a private primary suite with a full bathroom and large walk-in closet, with three generously sized secondary bedrooms and a full hall bathroom. A fully finished lower level provides expansive space for a playroom, family room, office, or exercise room, plus a full bathroom and access to the side yard.

An attached garage and long driveway provide ample off-street parking. Situated at the “Top of the Hill,” this home is just a short walk to the Chestnut Hill West Train Station and the iconic Germantown Avenue, offering restaurants, boutique shops, and a beautiful branch of the Philadelphia Library. Its proximity to the renowned Wissahickon Valley provides the perfect setting for hiking and outdoor activities.
