The home’s cedar shingle exterior and refined architectural lines allow it to settle gracefully into its natural surroundings. Approached by a landscaped drive and framed by manicured hedges and mature trees, the residence feels both understated and impressive. The bluestone entrance leads to a stunning mahogany front door unveiling a world designed around openness, natural light, and uninterrupted views. Showcased upon entry is a dramatic two-story living room where a wall of windows rises toward the treetops. Sunlight spills across oak flooring, and a Kingsman two-sided gas fireplace warms the space shared with the adjoining family–dining area where custom Poggenpohl cabinetry and a discreet wet bar create an ideal setting for easy evenings or elegant gatherings. French doors lead to a covered porch positioned like an overlook above the golf course; one of the home’s many vantage points for breathtaking views. Here, the landscape becomes part of the architecture.
The kitchen is a beautifully curated modern workspace, anchored by Poggenpohl cabinetry that defines its clean, architectural lines. Marble countertops and backsplash complement a suite of professional-grade appliances: Wolf range and hood, Wolf microwave drawer, SubZero refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. A built-in desk, breakfast bar, and generous pantry offer both practicality and refinement, while the adjacent mudroom with Whirlpool laundry, built-in bench, and garden sink ensures effortless everyday living.
A first-floor primary suite is tucked into its own corner of the home, offering privacy and a deep sense of calm. With a gas fireplace, custom California Closet walk-in dressing room, radiant heated marble bath with steam shower and hydrosystem tub, and French doors opening to a second covered porch, this suite feels like its own retreat; one designed to merge comfort with the beauty just beyond its doors.
Upstairs, an open loft captures stunning views of the golf course and Wissahickon Valley. Two en-suite bedrooms anchor each side, both featuring a gas fireplace, marble bathroom, large closet, and private balcony that brings you even closer to the changing seasons surrounding the property. A fourth en-suite bedroom above the garage provides flexibility for guests or live-in support.
Descending to the lower level reveals a thoughtful extension of the home’s luxury. Oak flooring continues into a large recreation space with a Poggenpohl-designed entertaining bar featuring an expansive marble island, SubZero refrigerator drawers and ice maker. A glass-front wine cellar with Millesime racks and tech lighting elevates the experience, while a mirrored gym, full marble bathroom, state-of-the-art theater, and abundant storage complete the level. A walkout exit connects directly to the grounds.
The exterior features a landscaped courtyard, refined architectural outdoor lighting, custom fencing, and ample parking beside the attached two-car garage. Multiple covered outdoor living spaces are thoughtfully positioned to frame the landscape and maintain privacy. From every angle, the property is intentionally designed to showcase the open horizon of the golf course while maintaining the intimacy of its wooded surroundings.
Tucked into one of Chestnut Hill’s most coveted enclaves, 609 Saint Andrews Road is a rare offering in modern luxury living. This refined residence harmoniously blends contemporary design with the timeless charm of the neighborhood, set just minutes from boutique shops, acclaimed restaurants, and the scenic Wissahickon Trail. With effortless access to Center City Philadelphia, Manhattan, and Washington, D.C. via train, the home provides both tranquility and connectivity. Here, comfort, style, and a vibrant community converge, creating an extraordinary living experience that is truly unparalleled.
