Welcome to Sugar Loaf Orchard Estate, nestled in the unique and charming Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia comprised of two recently subdivided lots. The combined property of 29 & 31 W. Bells Mill Road , established in 1918, offers 4.8 acres, a manor house, carriage house, and the remains of both a large greenhouse and ice house, all tucked away in a private setting with access confirmed by a recorded Easement Agreement with Chestnut Hill College, a university offering private security. In its heyday, Sugar Loaf was one of the great Philadelphia estates with the grounds designed by Ellen Shipman (1869-1950), a prominent early 20th Century American landscape architect. The 6700 sqft Main house, designed by Philadelphia architecture firm Martin and Kirkpatrick, has a slate roof, 6 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, south facing living and dining rooms with fireplaces and bay windows, a side porch, library with fireplace, kitchen and lovely entryway. Upstairs you'll find a primary suite with a sleeping porch, 3 more bedrooms with full baths, an au pair or in-law suite with an entrance off the second floor or from the kitchen, and a third floor bedroom, sitting room and bathroom, The carriage house has a 3-car garage and was once split into two apartments and could remain as such or be combined into one home. Mature trees and lush greenery adorn both lots, creating a serene and private atmosphere. The potential for beautifully landscaped gardens and outdoor living spaces is abundant. Whether you are a developer or an end user, all buildings and the grounds require a loving restoration and each has its own character and potential, offering versatility and endless possibilities.

Bells Mill is in walking distance of Woodmere Art Museum, the Morris Arboretum, the trails of the Wissahickon Valley, Chestnut Hill 's main business district with its great shopping and dining, Septa trains, schools, the Pa Turnpike and the Blue Route/ 476.
