Private House With Garden for sale in Philadelphia, PA

Welcome to 'Cogshill' -- A truly exceptional property on the Chestnut Hill/West Mount Airy border. Walled and gated this is a very private and gorgeous oasis in a premier location. Steeped in history, this stately 5 BR/3.5 BA mini-estate was built in 1915 for the notable artist, Jessie Willcox Smith, on a one-acre parcel of land that she purchased from George Woodward. She subsequently commissioned renowned Philadelphia church and residential architect, Edmund Gilchrist, to design her house. The heart of 601 Saint Georges Road is a stucco-on-stone house with attached bluestone and brick garden courtyard, front patio, and back terrace. These provide vantage points to the recently hardscaped and landscaped property of extraordinary trees, shrubbery and plantings. The completely private Roman End built-in pool is set among new gardens of hydrangeas, crape myrtle, azaleas and evergreen trees. Enter into the foyer to a grand mahogany stairwell leading up to a balcony library and a gorgeous 2-story beamed ceiling. All 5 bedrooms, one with a fireplace, are on the second floor. These rooms can easily be transitioned for other uses as well. 3 full bathrooms and a screened porch are part of the second floor as well. Superb classic woodworking throughout the house including mantels, sills, doors, beams, staircases, trim and cabinetry. The main floor living room and plant-filled garden room is memorable as you also see the back terraces and side yard garden through multiple sets of French Doors. The classic country kitchen is well-designed with stainless steel appliances and porcelain farm sink; the dining room and Butler~s pantry perfectly placed for entertaining. Finally, the spectacular artist's studio, replete with 12' ceilings, grand fireplace and mantel, ceiling-to-floor cabinetry, amazing acoustics and garden views is perhaps the most dramatic room. This historically rich home, known originally as 'Cogshill', is meant for those who want all the seasons of the year to.

Year Built: 1916.
