Description

Welcome Home to this beautiful, stucco over stone, center hall colonial built in 1910.....just a stone's throw from beautiful Chesnut Hill, but without the city taxes!! Modern updates have married with old world craftsmanship to create a home for all ages. What began as an asparagus farm, this home has been transformed over the year, but still kept its charm and character. Up the brick walkway to the main entrance of the grand home one is greeted by a spacious entry hall. Flanked by the living room on the left with gleaning hardwood floor and a wood burning fireplace. Off to the side is a sun-drenched garden room complete with herring bone brick floors and a gas fireplace insert. Back to the center hall is a large coat room with a powder room and additional closets and access to the rear courtyard. To the right of the entry is the formal dining room with access to the kitchen. The kitchen has been completely redone with maple cabinetry, honed marble counters, stainless appliances with a large 6 burner cooktop with downdraft venting and stainless farmhouse sink. The island provides additional counterspace and storage. There is rear access to the garden and garage from the kitchen and as well as a back staircase to the 2nd level. The second-floor features hardwood floors throughout and a wide hallway. This level features a primary suite complete with ensuite bath (with a washer and dryer) and a large dressing room with access to the back stairs to the kitchen. There are 2 other bedrooms on this level, one with an adjoining room with a wood burning fireplace. This could double as an upstairs library. There is also a large hall bath. The third level also features hardwood floors and an additional 2 bedrooms with a hall bath. One bedroom has direct access to a lovely porch overlooking the grounds. This level also enjoys an abundance of storage. The corner lot provides unobstructed views of the neighboring homes, but with privacy as well with all the mature trees and gardens. There is an oversized 2 car garage with additional loft space on the 2nd level. There is a lovely rear patio and plenty of level yard space. Take advantage of Chesnut Hill's shops and restaurants and a short walk to the Morris Arboretum.A must see......
