Tucked away on a secluded 0.58 acre estate in the heart of historic Chestnut Hill, this classic 5 bedroom, 3 full and one-half bath brick Colonial offers a uniquely private setting with all of the conveniences of city living. Originally built in 1937, the architecture is highlighted by six original wood burning fireplaces, large expansive windows, and an easy indoor/outdoor flow. The 4,558 square foot home was extensively renovated, creating a floorplan ideal for family living. While the period details were thoughtfully restored, the home was beautifully designed to further enhance the historic character and charm. The home has since been meticulously maintained.

 

The home’s thoughtful layout is well-designed for fabulous entertaining combined with family comfort. The welcoming entry foyer graciously connects the first floor’s living spaces. The bright and expansive living room with fireplace and period detail leads to a charming porch perfect for seasonal entertaining. The dining room, highlighted by built-in cabinetry and large south facing windows, allow for both large scale or intimate dining. The kitchen with a generous island, abundant counter space, butler pantry, and spacious eat-in area provides an anchor to the home. Off the entry foyer is a cozy family room with fireplace, custom built-ins, and a sun-filled window seat. The 1st floor also includes a half bathroom and plenty of closet space.

 

A central staircase leads up to an expansive, open landing on the second floor. The primary suite includes a fireplace, walk-in-closet, and spacious bathroom. A large en-suite bedroom with vaulted ceiling, three impressive bedrooms and full bath complete the second floor. The lower level provides ample additional space, including a large recreation room with fireplace, laundry room, and plenty of storage.

 

The magic of the property comes together with the maturity of the surrounding trees, ultimate privacy, and the playfulness of the expansive landscaped level yard. The easy indoor/outdoor access to the house offers an ideal setting for incredible 'al fresco’ entertaining. Whether it’s a game of tag, gathering with friends around the firepit, or soaking up the sun, the unique setting provides an idyllic escape from city’s bustling activities.

 

This sought-after neighborhood, hidden on a private way off of Hammond Street, is a stone’s throw from “The Street” offering a choice of fantastic restaurants, shops, grocery and entertainment. Steps from Brimmer and May and the Chestnut Hill School, the coveted location is also conveniently central to the area’s top public and private schools. Ideal for commuters, the Green ‘D’ line is a block away. This central Chestnut Hill address allows for a quick drive to Longwood Medical, Boston, Cambridge, or Logan Airport.
