Description

Tucked beside a historic 19th-century stone wall in the heart of chestnut hill, 8031 seminole street is a timeless residence that is a masterful blend of tudor revival charm with colonial elegance. designed in 1916 by renowned architect robert r. mcgoodwin as part of dr. george woodward’s visionary plan for an artfully crafted community, the home is a testament to enduring craftsmanship and architectural grace. set on 0.63 acres and embraced by flowering gardens and mature trees, including cherry blossoms, magnolias, japanese maple, dogwood, birch, hawthorn, and cherry, this is more than a residence; it’s a private, living piece of chestnut hill history.
the stone exterior is accented with decorative half-timbering, steeply pitched gable roofs which capture the essence of tudor revival design. the colonial influence is evident in its symmetrical layout and classical proportions. herringbone brick pathways weave through the gardens, leading to flagstone patios ideal for hosting under the stars or enjoying a quiet morning surrounded by birdsong and blooms. even the detached garage is thoughtfully styled to complement the home’s historic character. cascading wisteria frames the arched stone entry, leading to a triple-arched front way and mercer-tiled mudroom/vestibule, complete with a stone fountain and basin that sets a tranquil tone. inside, the home unfolds graciously across 6,831 square feet with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms, offering a layout that is functional as it is beautiful.
a spacious foyer welcomes you to beautifully finished hardwood floors and stunning windows throughout the home overlooking the trees and landscaped views. you’ll always enjoy the sunshine as the home receives generous east/west sunlight throughout the day. the main level opens with a grand foyer, where sunlight dances across hardwood floors and oversized windows frame views of the lush gardens and trees. there is also an ample front hall closet with a doorway to the back patio. a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace and french doors opens to an enclosed flagstone porch. a sun-splashed dining room overlooks the front gardens, while a cozy family room with built-ins invites intimate evenings at home. the step-down half bath combines unique style with everyday functionality which is perfect for both daily use and entertaining. at the heart of it all is the chef’s kitchen with a rear mudroom. the kitchen features a butler’s pantry, quartz island with cooktop, glass-front cabinetry, and breakfast room with windows that open onto a storybook courtyard.
upstairs, two separate staircases lead to the home’s private quarters. on the upper levels, you'll find seven bedrooms, three full baths, and a half bath with a thoughtfully placed laundry area for modern convenience. the primary suite is a restful retreat, with an ensuite bath and a custom walk-in closet with additional access to an office. throughout the home, original details and charm abound with pocket doors, rich millwork, arched doorways and built-in shelving.
8031 seminole offers a rare blend of architectural distinction and breathtaking natural surroundings. just steps from charming shops, acclaimed restaurants, top-rated schools, the scenic wissahickon trail, and with easy train access to center city and manhattan, this is where historic charm meets modern lifestyle. come experience the warmth, beauty, and history of 8031 seminole street for yourself. this extraordinary home is one you simply must see to believe. don’t miss the chance to make a timeless piece of chestnut hill your own.
