About this home
Tucked away at the end of a private cul-de-sac and backing directly to the lush beauty and trails of Fairmount Park, 734 Cornelia Place offers a rare sense of privacy and connection to nature in the heart of Chestnut Hill. Surrounded by mature trees and greenery, the home enjoys tranquil views and a peaceful setting that feels worlds away, while remaining just moments from the Chestnut Hill’s vibrant shopping and dining.
A bright two-story foyer welcomes you into the home, flanked by a formal living room and elegant formal dining room. A butler’s pantry with dry bar connects seamlessly to the eat-in kitchen, featuring an island with bar seating, double wall ovens, a 5-burner cooktop, glass-front cabinetry, and a sunny breakfast area overlooking the rear deck and yard. Sliding glass doors provide access to the oversized trex deck, while the kitchen also conveniently connects to the two-car garage, mudroom, and laundry room.
The kitchen opens directly into the impressive two-story family room, where soaring windows flood the space with natural light and a wood-burning fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. An office and a centrally located powder room complete the main level.
Upstairs, the sunlit hallway overlooks both the foyer and family room below. Through double doors, the spacious primary suite offers hardwood floors, a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, and French doors leading to a private sitting room or office overlooking the backyard. The beautifully updated primary bath features radiant heated floors, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a striking stacked stone accent wall, double vanity, walk-in shower, and separate molded stone soaking tub.
Three additional bedrooms, each with ample closet space, share a full hall bath with double vanity and are complemented by a large walk-in hall linen closet.
The walk-out lower level provides an incredible extension of the home with high ceilings and oversized windows that fill the space with light. Ideal for entertaining, recreation, or additional living space, the finished basement also includes a full bedroom with double closets, a full bath with walk-in shower, a walk-in closet, sliding glass doors to the patio, and a large unfinished storage area.
The backyard is truly the highlight of the home, offering a setting that feels immersed in the beauty of the park. An oversized deck overlooks the expansive yard surrounded by mature trees and directly adjoins Fairmount Park, creating a private outdoor retreat with breathtaking natural views and direct access to miles of scenic trails. Ideally located in the heart of Chestnut Hill, the home is just moments from the neighborhood’s beloved shops and restaurants, as well as only a few blocks from the train station for easy access to Center City and beyond....
