A Masterpiece Reimagined: The Ultimate Drexel Hill Estate 454 Forrest Avenue is more than just a home; it is a meticulously restored 1917 Tudor Revival that commands attention. Offering a scale rarely seen in Drexel Hill, this 4,207-square-foot estate has been artfully transformed from a wartime multi-unit back into a grand single-family residence. More than a decade of thoughtful renovation has seamlessly blended turn-of-the-century soul with high-performance modern systems. A residence of Architectural Heritage: Marvel at the preserved original woodwork and timeless Tudor silhouette. All original, stained glass windows have been expertly restored and sealed, paired with aesthetically appropriate steel security doors for peace of mind without compromising style. Expansive Living: Three levels of versatile space featuring 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 1 half bath. Multi-Generational Luxury: The third floor features a second full kitchen, offering a private suite perfect for extended family, guests, or a sophisticated au pair arrangement. Modern Reliability: Enjoy the character of 1917 with the confidence of a home that has been fully updated from the inside out—including all systems and fixtures. Nestled on a third of an acre, the property is a private botanical oasis. The lush greenery is punctuated by rare specimen plantings, creating a serene escape that feels worlds away from the hustle of the city. Unrivaled Connectivity & Education. Commuter’s Dream: Leave the car behind—the trolley is just two blocks away. Enjoy a swift 20-minute commute to UPenn and Center City. Elite Education: Located in a hub of prestigious private education. Holy Child Academy is just one block away, with Friends’ Central School and Perelman Jewish Day School both within a convenient 10-minute drive. Distinctive. Grand. Fully Updated. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Drexel Hill history redefined for modern luxury living. Schedule your private tour of this Tudor Revival masterpiece today. Updated photo's coming soon..
