Pull up to 240 E Springfield Ave, a quiet, tree-lined corner street in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. You're just a few minutes walk from the main avenue, steps from the train, but tucked away in a cove that feels like your own hidden retreat. Walk through the front door and you'll immediately feel the warmth, open natural light, and elegant character. Hardwood floors stretch through the main living spaces, catching the sunlight that pours in through the glass patio doors, kitchen skylight, and stairwell encased window. Everything feels bright and open, but still cozy. A comfortable setting for both everyday living and social gatherings. Then there's the bathroom. It's not just functional-it's a standout feature. Deep blue paneled walls, classic fixtures, the kind of timeless style that makes you smile every time you walk in. It's one of those details that makes a house feel like a home. Step out the patio doors and you've got your own secret garden: a brick patio wrapped in mature greenery. It's the kind of space that becomes your go-to-morning coffee spot, weekend brunch with friends, or just a quiet place after a long day. Chestnut Hill's shops, cafés, small businesses and restaurants are practically at your doorstep. If you need to get into Center City the train station is right there. You get all the charm of neighborhood living without sacrificing convenience. Full of elegant updates, beautifully cared for, and ideally located, 240 E Springfield Ave is a special opportunity to enjoy everything this sought-after part of Philadelphia has to offer.Updates made to house since last purchase: New washer and dryer (2018) New roof, gutters, soffit and kitchen skylight (2018) New patio sliding door and new front entry door (2018) New kitchen appliances (2019) Re-laid brick patio and added stone landscaping to property (2020) New patio gate (2020) Painted exterior stucco (2020) New shutters by©Timberlane (2020) Remodel stairs (2022) Remodel full bathroom by ©Harth Builders (2023) New windows by ©Andersen (2024) New HVAC and electric heat pump (2025) New hot water heater (2025)
