Property Description

Prime Chestnut Hill location on sought-after Shawnee Street - just moments from the shops, restaurants, parks, and transportation along Germantown Avenue, yet tucked into a peaceful residential setting. This spacious 5-bedroom, 1-bath twin blends historic character with everyday convenience and includes off-street parking. A covered front porch offers a welcoming place to relax, gather with friends, or enjoy the surrounding greenery. Inside, the entry hall showcases original millwork, built-in bookshelves, and a decorative non-working fireplace that reflects the home's historic charm. The staircase leads to the upper floors, while the adjoining dining room features an original corner china cabinet along with additional storage and coat closets. At the rear of the home, the kitchen retains an original built-in sideboard, providing both character and functional storage-a thoughtful detail of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The adjoining mudroom includes a hook up for a washer and dryer and access to the rear yard. The second floor offers three bedrooms and a hall bath with a tub, handheld shower, porcelain sink, and shelving. Two additional bedrooms are located on the third floor, along with a cedar hall closet. The full unfinished basement houses the boiler and oil tank and provides additional storage potential.
