Property Description
Where can you find this charming brick twin that seamlessly blends mid-century architectural history with almost London-like mews living? Tucked away in the enchanting and highly coveted Chestnut Hill Tohopeka Court, that's where!
The Tohopeka courtyard was born out of a partnership between the influential Houston and Woodward families and the prominent Philadelphia architect Robert McGoodwin. Together they shaped Chestnut Hill through the creation of highly integrated, English-style rental courts that fostered close community ties. (And what does the name Tohopeka mean? Interestingly, it is a word from the Indian Muscogee tribe and means “fort” or “fortification.”)
You'll fall under the spell and fortification of 2 Tohopeka (being sold by the owner "As Is") the minute you step through its garden gate into a lovely front yard oasis and covered entrance. The patio and lush green space offer a quiet sanctuary above Highland Avenue for morning coffee, evening wine, or intimate garden gatherings. Once inside, you are greeted by a wonderful living room with fireplace and bump out window to the back. The sunny dining room is near the entrance as well and looks out to the front garden. It leads to a thoughtfully executed kitchen with a side room complete with half bathroom, a door to the backyard and room for a kitchen table, TV and comfy furniture.
Upstairs, the primary suite has a walk-in closet and bathroom and off the hall are two light-filled bedrooms and a bathroom that offer restful retreats from the pace of modern life. Finally, there is a partially finished basement that hosts a fireplace and wonderful hangout space and a separate room that houses all utilities and the washer and dryer.
Memories are ready to be made at this delightful house perfectly positioned just steps from the historic cobblestones of Germantown Avenue. And, you are a short walk from boutique shopping, award-winning dining, regional rail transit, and the natural beauty of the Wissahickon Valley Park. Do not miss the chance to own this true architectural gem in Philadelphia's premier garden suburb!
