If you are looking for an elegant, classic Chestnut Hill home in a superb, picturesque setting that’s entirely turnkey, look no further than 22 West Bells Mill Road. Situated on an elevated, park-like parcel in the historic Wissahickon Valley, this fabulous home is bathed in sunlight from morning through sunset and offers the perfect harmony of preserved architectural heritage and masterful modern updates. The residence was meticulously envisioned by the acclaimed design firm Tallulah & Bird and executed by Regan Construction during an extensive 2023 restoration.

The kitchen and six bathrooms were entirely made new—all flawlessly maintained since completion. Residents enjoy unrivaled lifestyle convenience, living just a short walk from historic downtown Chestnut Hill’s premier galleries and culinary venues, as well as the scenic biking and hiking trails of the Wissahickon Valley. A formal double-door entry welcomes guests into a refined receiving vestibule. The expansive first floor features a sprawling, light-filled living room anchored by a working fireplace and a striking wall of European-style double French doors that transition seamlessly to the outdoor living spaces. An adjoining formal dining room features its own working fireplace and a matching continuation of French doors overlooking the rear grounds.

Completing the main floor is a solarium/greenhouse that offers a lovely bonus entertainment space, a potential private home office complete with built-in bookcases, and an oversized powder room. A grand Federal-style staircase guides you to the second level, which has four bedrooms and four custom ensuite bathrooms. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, defined by soaring 12-foot vaulted ceilings, a luxury bath with dual vanities and a soaking tub, and a fireplace. The massive walk-in closet outfitted by California Closets includes custom wall-to-wall cabinetry, a center folding island, and an additional fireplace. The three remaining bedrooms each feature fully updated custom ensuite baths, generous closets, and abundant natural light. For maximum convenience, the upper level includes a dedicated bedroom-level laundry closet featuring a front-load washer, dryer, and folding table. The finished lower level functions beautifully as a secondary living space, featuring a lovely separate entrance directly from the front facade. This bright area serves as a fantastic family room and comes complete with its own powder room. It also houses an extra, secondary laundry facility with a high-efficiency front-load washer and dryer set, making it highly self-sufficient. This level is rounded out by a dedicated dry storage room with ample space for extras, additional refrigerators/freezers, and, in 2023, a brand-new dual-zone HVAC system. The additional 930 sq. ft. of the Garden Suite is not included in the 3,500 sq. ft. detailed in the listing. This additional space brings the total square footage of living space to 4,430.
