Built in 1914-15 of red cut stone imported from Italy, this stunning carriage house has tremendous architectural character and many fine details, including stone window sills and frames, ornate casement window hardware, beautiful wood paneling, and a distinctive hipped slate roof, revealing its French/Norman inspiration. The spectacular great room has a beamed ceiling, floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves, and views of the lovely garden and patio through 2 large glass double doors. There is a first-floor master suite addition with 3 closets, an updated tile bath, and laundry room. The kitchen, with newer stainless steel appliances, is adjacent to a butler's pantry off the dining room. Upstairs is a large bedroom with wood wainscoting, several closets, a fireplace, and balcony overlooking the patio. Completing the 2nd floor are a small 3rd bedroom/office; a ceramic tile hall bath; and hall closet. The secluded 6/10-acre lot borders Fairmount Park, but is also a pleasant walk to the shops and restaurants of Chestnut Hill. A uniquely lovely property, not to be missed!
