What's around 155 Rex Ave

About this property

Welcome to 155 Rex, a charming single-family 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home at the top of Chestnut Hill, one of Philadelphia’s most beautiful, beloved and walkable neighborhoods. This move-in-ready hidden gem offers the perfect blend of timeless character, modern updates, and unbeatable convenience. Upon entry, you will find a spacious living room centered around a handsome gas fireplace with extensive built-in shelving that adds warmth and architectural character throughout the space. Just beyond, a sun-filled sitting room and office area provides the perfect retreat for working or relaxing, with direct access to the lovely terrace. Adjacent to the living room, the formal dining room flows seamlessly into the updated kitchen, featuring stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and slate flooring. An additional suite on the main level offers exceptional versatility. Complete with a full bath, skylight, closet, and its own entrance to the rear yard, this space can function beautifully as a family room, playroom, breakfast room, guest suite, or convenient first-floor bedroom. Up the gracefully curved staircase, the second floor offers three light-filled, generously sized bedrooms. The sunny hall bath is tastefully appointed with onyx tile throughout. A partially finished basement currently serves as laundry and storage space and includes a water closet, while also offering potential for future living space. Outside, the property truly shines. The fully fenced, expansive patio and entertaining areas include a built-in grill and plenty of room for dining, gathering, and relaxing amid the garden where you will find herb and vegetable beds, a grapevine, fig trees, and rose bushes. A charming garden shed provides additional storage, while two-car covered parking adds everyday convenience. Meticulous maintenance includes: flat roof reseal 5/26, slate roof maintenance 5/26, AC tuneup 5/26. Ask for our pre-listing inspection. Location is everything! Enjoy an easy eight-minute walk to Wissahickon Valley Park and its miles of scenic trails, along with convenient access to commuter rail and major highways for an effortless commute. Just two blocks from Germantown Avenue’s excellent mix of local shops, restaurants, and community favorites - from McNally's Tavern to Killian’s Hardware and Weavers Way Co-op - this home perfectly captures the small-town charm that makes Chestnut Hill so special.
