You’ve been scoping out this neighborhood, knowing homes don’t become available here often. The development’s 300-acre grounds were the original home of Whitemarsh Hall, designed by architect, Horace Trumbauer and built for investment banker Edward Stotesbury and his second wife, Eva. Now a community of colorful and fun mid-century homes live among the original estate’s relics of towering stone columns and prominent statues. Nestled in the heart of the community and just two short blocks from Willow Grove Avenue, the town's bustling main street, sits 8103 Hull Drive. Built in the late 1940s as a single-story concrete paneled ranch, this sweet home is trimmed with period teal that’ll make your retro-loving heart skip a beat. Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms, one full bath, and the kind of sleek and stylish layout that practically begs for a record player and a martini shaker. Everything about the home speaks a love language unique to the tribe of mid-century modern enthusiasts. The sunny living room boasts the neighborhood’s signature iconic honeycomb concrete coffered ceilings as well as a bay window allowing natural light to fill the space. Splurge on that big comfy sofa you’ve been eyeing – this room can handle it. The eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home and this one doesn’t disappoint with warm wood cabinets, vintage-inspired pendant lighting, stainless-steel appliances, and an island ready for everything from pancake breakfasts to impromptu pizza parties. Need a little extra room for work, art, guests, or that long-lost drum set you swore you’d pick up again? The one-car garage has been converted into a dreamy studio space with its own half bath with a fancy composting toilet. Work-from-home never looked so good. Outside, the secluded grounds under a canopy of mature trees remind you why you wanted to leave the city in the first place. It’s your own private paradise with garden beds, a fire pit fit for stargazing, and a brick patio for morning coffee. Then, there’s the neighborhood itself. Just beyond the city’s leafy Chestnut Hill neighborhood and within the celebrated Springfield Township School District, Wyndmoor has become the coveted destination for savvy homebuyers. Bustling Willow Grove Avenue features restaurants, a juice bar, a coffee shop, a market carrying local goods, a barre studio and a friendly pub to catch the games. A stone’s throw to cobblestoned Germantown Avenue in Chestnut Hill, Valley Green and the trails of Fairmount Park, it’s served by the R7 regional rail with 25-minute access to Center City. You’ve waited for the right home in the right spot with the right vibe. This one checks every box, plus a few you didn’t know you had. Hurry, because let’s face it, homes here rarely hit the market, and when they do, they get scooped up faster than the last slice of Tartufo pizza at Enza.
