Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from August 28, 2022
This conveniently located "Top of the Hill" 167 year old farmhouse has seen rural Chestnut Hill develop into the urban, quaint and charming village neighborhood that it is today. The business district along Germantown Avenue, trains lines into center city and the Wissahickon gorge trails are a few blocks away. This sunny location at the corner of Shawnee St., has an array of specimen plants at the front and sides of the house and a wonderful collection in the rear yard behind the privacy fence. The detached garage serves for tool storage as well as for a car. The house's interior features wood flooring, original paneled doors, first floor laundry room, powder room, a Carrara marble-tiled bathroom and a Buderus gas-fired heating system.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is the worst school I have ever seen in my life. I moved to the area with my daughter going into school as a freshman. It was and still is absolutely horrible. The kids act like wild animals and the staff does absolutely nothing at all. You go to school to learn not to fight and be disrespectful to each other and faculty. I just thank the Lord I am in a position that I was able to move so my daughter could attend an amazing school that she deserves. The majority of the students come from the roughest areas in Philly they need to stay and tear down the area schools where they are from and not bring the nonsense to the better areas of Philly. The area to live is amazing the schools however need to be shut down.Parent Review5mo ago
