Settle in to the heart of Chestnut Hill. Walk to all its shops and restaurants. Enjoy a warm, welcoming community where garden festivals are traditional, where architectural history is all around you, where green parks are treasured, and where commuter trains and buses are readily accessible. This is a wonderful home built in the early part of the 20th century with the architectural detail (cornices, arches, crown moldings, high ceilings) of that era. Today’s homeowner will particularly enjoy its open sunny kitchen and the fantastic master bedroom/bath suite that is a rare find in an older home.

A Victorian gem in the center of the Penn Knox neighborhood, this three story stone, brick and stucco detached home built in 1886-87 was designed by George T. Pearson, one of the most distinguished architects of his day. The “Germantown Guide” published on September 10, 1887, with the headline “Striking Improvements” describes the property this way:

“The transformation of old dwellings has become a modern art, and the skill of a good mechanic does wonders. Recently the cottage of Mr. Church, at Knox and Penn Streets, was suddenly converted into a magnificent residence, in fact a castle in its way, and so attractive and indicative of comfort within that it is an object of pleasure to every appreciative passer-by. George W. Baxter did the work for Mr. Church.”

Later the property was the home of Philadelphia Mayor Robert E. Lamberton until 1942 when it was sold to the Sosdorf family who converted it into apartments.

Today, the property offers 7 apartments: one terrific and spacious one bedroom owner’s apartment that was totally renovated in 1990, two more 1 bedroom apartments, and four studio apartments.
