Welcome to 21 Summit Street - Built in 1857, this 6 bedroom 4.5 bath Italianate Victorian stone masterpiece is believed to be the highest point of natural land in the city of Philadelphia. Built as a summer home for Samuel Austin, a Philadelphia attorney who purchased the land between the two Chestnut Hill railroad stations, the house has a walk-to-everything location that cannot be beat. You are greeted by soaring ceilings, gracious light-filled spaces, incredible original detail, millwork and hardwood floors throughout. The grand dining room is open to the renovated Chefs kitchen (2007) equipped with tons of cabinet space, high-end appliances including a SubZero refrigerator, Dacor range, Bosch dishwasher, a fireplace, island workspace, a desk area and a door to the back deck. Beyond the kitchen, enjoy the choice of two wonderful living spaces. The cozy den/living area with a fireplace and built-ins OR step up to the expansive solarium room of the addition with walls of windows and access to the outdoor wrap around mahogany deck with a cedar Pergola. The second floor offers 3 spacious bedrooms each with its own bathroom/suites including a lovely master bedroom with a walk-in closet and a newly renovated bathroom that offers two sinks, a walk-in seamless shower, gorgeous fixtures, tasteful finishes and radiant heat floors. The 2nd floor room of the addition is another sun drenched room with walls of windows and built-in cabinets/bookcases; perfect for an at home office or studio space. Three additional bedrooms and a renovated hall bath complete the third floor. Lets not forget the best part... access to the railing-enclosed platform on the roof. One can see the fireworks on the Delaware River on New Years Eve!
