A French Provincial Chestnut Hill Residence Framed by Garden and Light Introducing 401 W. Springfield Avenue, a distinguished Chestnut Hill residence with origins dating to the late 19th century, thoughtfully reimagined in 1961 by architect H. Shoppy and builder Braun Bros. Set on 0.86 private acres framed by mature trees and layered gardens, the home reflects a refined interpretation of the French Provincial tradition with soft-toned masonry, tall vertical windows, and timeless architectural detailing. Offering 5 bedrooms, 3 full and 1 half baths, approximately 5,898 square feet of living space, and a 2-car garage, the residence balances architectural character with modern livability. A gracious center hall introduces beautifully preserved hardwood floors, original millwork, deep window sills, and a sweeping curved staircase with elegant wrought iron railing. Formal living and dining rooms are filled with natural light and framed by oversized paned windows, fireplaces, and direct access to the gardens. An intimate sitting room or library transitions naturally to the kitchen, which features adobe tile flooring, custom cabinetry, a bright breakfast nook, and open sightlines to the adjoining family room with exposed beams, built-ins, raised-hearth fireplace, and a dramatic wall of windows overlooking the grounds. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite opens to a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens and includes a dressing room and ensuite bath. Additional bedrooms offer generous proportions, abundant natural light, and flexibility for family, guests, or office space. Surrounded by mature plantings, layered gardens, and under a canopy of trees, 401 W. Springfield Avenue offers a rare combination of privacy, architectural character, and livability in the heart of Chestnut Hill. Just minutes from the neighborhood’s charming shops, acclaimed restaurants, the scenic Wissahickon trails, and convenient train access to Center City Philadelphia, Manhattan and DC, the residence reflects a distinctly European sensibility while remaining deeply connected to the rhythm of modern life.
