About This Home

Tucked away on an idyllic side street in the heart of vibrant Chestnut Hill, 218 E Highland Ave is a beautifully maintained twin home ready for its next owner. From its inviting curb appeal to the high ceilings and abundant natural light, this home offers warmth and charm at every turn. Step into the heated enclosed porch, a bright and cozy retreat perfect for morning coffee. Built-in bookshelves offer extra storage and display space, while a wall of windows bathes the space in sunshine. The spacious living room features a stone fireplace, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Adjacent, the dining area with charming chair rail molding is ideal for both intimate meals and larger gatherings. The kitchen opens to a rear deck—perfect for outdoor dining. A convenient first floor powder room is tucked away off of the kitchen. Upstairs, the primary suite features a generous walk-in closet/dressing room and an ensuite bathroom with a stall shower. Two additional spacious bedrooms and a full hall bath with a tub complete this level. The charming backyard offers space for play, pets, gardening, or summer barbecues. A quiet alley leads to the heated attached garage with space for one car or additional storage. The location is an absolute dream come true! Enjoy walkability to everything Chestnut Hill has to offer—two train lines, restaurants, shops, and green spaces. Spend warm evenings at Market at the Fareway or indulge in a treat from local favorite Chill on the Hill, just a block away! And you will never have to worry about parking during the neighborhood’s popular street festivals. Additional Highlights include central air, new roof (2021-2023), and hardwood floors throughout. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a classic Chestnut Hill home in an unbeatable location!
