About this home
An exceptional Chestnut Hill residence where historic elegance meets sophisticated modern luxury.
Prominently positioned at the sought after "Top of the Hill" in the heart of Chestnut Hill, this extraordinary home offers a rare blend of architectural character, refined interiors, privacy, and an exceptional location. Meticulously transformed and professionally designed by an interior designer, every element has been thoughtfully curated to create a distinctive and elevated living experience.
Offered FULLY FURNISHED, this remarkable property presents an opportunity to acquire not simply a home, but a beautifully appointed lifestyle. Original architectural details and historic charm are seamlessly complemented by elevated designer finishes throughout.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by a gracious, high ceilinged foyer featuring an elegant staircase and a sense of grandeur that sets the tone for the home.
At the center of the residence is a spectacular chef’s kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Custom cabinetry, exquisite stone countertops, and a custom stone sink create a sophisticated yet inviting space, while the generous eat-in area provides the perfect gathering place for family and friends. Just off the kitchen is a thoughtfully designed laundry and utility room with custom cabinetry and direct access to the outdoors.
The elegant living room offers a warm and inviting retreat, complete with a gas fireplace that provides both ambiance and comfort.

The third floor offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and generous walk-in closets, providing exceptional space and flexibility for family, guests, or a private office.
The fully finished basement expands the living space even further and offers abundant storage, making it as practical as it is versatile.
Step outside to discover a secluded and beautifully fenced rear garden, a private oasis designed for both entertaining and relaxation. A gas fireplace and firepit create the perfect setting for intimate evenings, gatherings with friends, or quiet nights under the stars. A private carport provides coveted off-street parking, while the private rear easement road, owned by the seller, offers an additional measure of privacy and convenience.
The location is equally exceptional. Just outside your door, enjoy all that Chestnut Hill has to offer, including acclaimed restaurants, charming cafés, boutique shops, and convenient public transportation.
