Immerse yourself in the beauty of Fairmount Park at this modern mountain-style residence.
The home’s neutral and stone exterior marries perfectly with its natural surroundings.
Located on a secluded street in Chestnut Hill, 603 West Gravers Lane is a stunning custom-designed home that seamlessly blends into its lush surroundings. Situated among trees and greenery, the property offers the perfect combination of privacy and convenience. “This is an incredibly unique property in an unparalleled setting,” says developer Michael Sivel of the five-bed, 5 ½-bath home. “It is two acres on Fairmount Park, which allows for a beautifully designed home that takes advantage of the private park setting.”
a grand entryway sets a lavish tone for the rest of the home.
Step inside the abode’s grand two-story entryway, highlighted by white oak herringbone flooring. The exquisite entrance sets the tone for the rest of the property, showcasing the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into the project, developed by Sivel, Jennifer Rinella and Mark Malfara of TSGProperties. Steal a glimpse of Fairmount Park through custom oversized Marvin windows while venturing to the open, airy kitchen and family room. The space is an entertainer’s dream, while the kitchen boasts a generous Brazilian quartzite island, Caesarstone countertops and backsplash, and top-of-the-line Dacor appliances. Under cabinet lighting and a stylish wet bar with a beverage center elevate the stylish and functional area.
An oversize Brazilian quartzite island in the kitchen offers plenty of counter space for any chef.
Adjacent, the family room features a linear gas fireplace and custom builtins, while the elegant dining room’s custom slide-and-fold glass door connects to the cedar screened-in porch. This detail will surely be a dream for summer soirées, inviting guests to enjoy aperitifs and digestifs alfresco.

“The cedar screened-in porch was built by hand with a stone wood burning fireplace and is a quintessential space that allows the outdoors in while creating an additional entertaining space,” notes Rinella. Completing the first level is the study, adorned with reclaimed wood tops and beams. While working from home or relaxing with a good book, one can enjoy views of the backyard and the park beyond.
residents of the primary suite can unwind in the bathroom’s walk-in shower or deep soaking tub
Glide up custom-built white oak stairs with handforged steel balusters to explore the primary suite. Natural light floods the lavish space, but the en suite with marble flooring, radiant heat and a double vanity is a true haven. Beyond the home’s sumptuous amenities, future homeowners will find themselves a stone’s throw away from luxury shopping, culinary delights and Wissahickon Park. Malfara concludes: “This location is unrivaled, as you are not only within walking distance to all the wonderful amenities Chestnut Hill has to offer but at the same time, you are situated in a private park setting.” $3,750,000, Amin Beyah and Holly Reynolds, 610.212.3600 and 215.900.0175, thesivelgroup.com
