About this home
It’s rare to find this seamless blend of historic charm and modern comfort on one of Chestnut Hill’s most coveted “Top of the Hill” streets. Thoughtfully reimagined, this exceptional residence preserves its original architectural character while offering the updates today’s lifestyle demands. At the heart of the home is a recently renovated custom kitchen designed for gathering. Featuring stunning oak cabinetry, Café appliances, quartz countertops, elegant brass hardware, and a beautifully appointed bar area with wine and beverage refrigeration, the space is both warm and sophisticated.
The first floor offers a bright, flexible layout tailored to modern living. A gracious dining room lined with windows provides the perfect backdrop for entertaining. The inviting family room/den showcases a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and direct access to the rear terrace. Just beyond, a pass-through library leads to an additional living space currently used as a living room—complete with a deep wood-burning fireplace and sliding glass doors opening to the terrace. A newly renovated laundry and mudroom with generous storage, cubbies, and a coat closet adds everyday convenience.
Upstairs, the second floor offers four to five bedrooms, depending on your needs. One room is currently styled as a sophisticated home office with custom built-ins and a desk, while another adjoins the primary suite and serves as a spacious dressing room. Three full bathrooms enhance the versatility and comfort of this level.

A detached two-car garage sits just steps from the house and features a second-floor loft with a newly installed mini-split system for heating and cooling—offering endless potential for a studio, office, or guest space.
The private, fenced, professionally landscaped backyard is set on a rare, expansive flat lot with and includes a basketball court installed behind the garage. Multiple access points from the main level lead to the rear terrace, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living.
