What's around 99 E Bells Mill Rd

About this property

The distinguished residence at 99 East Bells Mill Road in North Chestnut Hill sits on nearly two acres of beautifully landscaped land, offering cool breezes, exceptional privacy, and sweeping views in every direction. Designed in 1925 by the renowned firm Willing, Sims & Talbott, the home carries a relaxed, modern sensibility — one that honors its English country roots while embracing an effortless connection to the natural world. Ten recently replaced, energy-efficient doors open from the first floor to the outside, blurring the line between interior living and the stunning landscape beyond. Enter through a gracious front passageway that flows to the back garden or into the home’s welcoming entry hall. A gallery leads past the generous dining room — where three French doors open onto an entertainment-sized bluestone terrace — and into the captivating living room, lined with French doors and windows on three sides that flood the space with light and views. Custom millwork, built-in bookcases, and an elegant powder room finished in Venetian plaster complete the refined first floor. The showstopper is the kitchen and back-of-house suite — a spectacular reimagining completed less than two years ago by one of the region’s top residential architects in collaboration with a celebrated kitchen designer. As uplifting as it is functional, the space includes a beautifully appointed back entry that serves as a mudroom elevated to an art form. Upstairs, five bedrooms and four updated full bathrooms are arranged across three separate wings, offering exceptional privacy. A recently renovated guest wing adds flexible living space, and the expansive third floor is ideal as a sixth bedroom, studio, or gym. Every upgrade has been executed with architectural sensitivity — new windows, updated HVAC, revitalized gardens, enhanced hardscaping, and upgraded electrical and lighting systems reflect the masterful stewardship of this remarkable property. Walk to Chestnut Hill’s shops and restaurants, jog into the Wissahickon Valley, and explore the Morris Arboretum in every season. Regional rail is less than a mile away, with easy access to major highways. This one is special — don’t wait to see it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
