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.

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.
