39 W GRAVERS LN Philadelphia, PA 19118

Irresistable 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath detached home in the heart of cosmopolitan Chestnut Hill. When Chestnut Hill was a small rural village in 1851, Sara Sines bought this lot. We know that by 1857, a two story dwelling existed on the lot. 162 years later, Sara Sines' little 3 bedroom 19th century house has been transformed with a 2004 addition into a much larger, inviting, open, and airy home perfect for 21st century living. And Chestnut Hill itself is one of America's most live-able communities with a lively main street filled with popular restaurants and unique shops. No more sheep are to be found wandering down the main Germantown Pike as in Sarah Sines' time!
