A 1912 Colonial Revival house in Chestnut Hill near the Morris Arboretum and Germantown Avenue costs $4 million, writes Angela Serratore for The New York Times. 

The house was designed by Walter T. Karcher and Livingston Smith, both architects who were responsible for several residential and public buildings in the area, in addition to various buildings on Swarthmore College’s campus.

The 6,926-square-foot house has five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. 

Inside the front door is a wide center star hall with a powder room; to the left is a living room with a fireplace; a built-in window seat; double doors that open to a library with walls, ceiling, and built-in bookcases. There is also access to a veranda outside.

A dining room is across the hall with another fireplace and a built-in banquette.

Meanwhile, the primary bedroom at the top of the stairs has a private balcony, a dressing room with a fireplace and an en suite batthroom with marble floors, a free-standing bathtub, and a separate shower. 

The outdoor space features a patio off the family room, steps down to a yard with an in-ground saltwater swimming pool, and room to park several cars in the driveway.
