Welcome to 8030 Navajo Street, a rare and elegant stone Cotswold home designed in 1931 by renowned architect Robert McGoodwin. Nestled on a serene, tree-lined block in the heart of Chestnut Hill, this light-filled residence beautifully blends timeless architectural charm with thoughtful modern updates. A blue stone pathway guides you past blooming dogwoods to the handcrafted front door, adorned with custom ironwork, and into the gracious foyer. You'll find conveniently located powder room here with in-floor radiant heat. To your left, the formal living room invites you in with a wood-burning fireplace and stunning custom built-ins. Pass under the archway that leads to an elegant dining room where show stopping garden views with lush seasonal foliage provide a picturesque backdrop for every meal. The adjacent cook’s kitchen, outfitted with top-of-the-line Miele appliances, opens to a delightful greenhouse—perfect for cultivating herbs and greenery year-round. Upstairs, you'll find a primary suite overlooking the backyard, an en-suite bathroom also with in-floor radiant heat, and walk-in closet. Two more generously sized bedrooms round out this floor, both with en-suite bathrooms. Hidden behind an unassuming door you'll find a secret room above the garage, perfect for a home office, guest space, yoga retreat, etc.. Going up one more flight of stairs you'll find the attic currently being used as an artist's studio but there are many possibilities for this space. The fenced backyard is beautifully landscaped for year-round blooms with espaliered pear and apple trees, flowering dogwood, lilacs, evergreen magnolias, and a curated perennial garden—perfect for entertaining or quiet mornings outdoors. In an unparalleled Chestnut Hill location, the home is steps from Pastorius Park and a short stroll to the shops, restaurants, and cafés along Germantown Avenue. You're also within walking distance to Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, the Philadelphia Cricket Club, the Saint Martins Lane SEPTA Station, and just beyond, the extensive network of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails in the Wissahickon Valley Park. This is a unique opportunity to own a beautifully maintained and truly exceptional home in one of Philadelphia’s most desirable neighborhoods on a truly magical street.
