Property Description
Adjacent to the Morris Arboretum in historic Chestnut Hill, this stunning French Norman stone home, beautifully sited on about a half-acre, has 7 BRs, 4 full baths and 2 half baths. Designed by architect George W. Carson and built in 1929, it is included in the Chestnut Hill Historical Society's Architectural Guide. This lovely and well-maintained home has many of its original features, including a distinctive Ludowici clay tile roof, random width, pegged, hardwood floors, wooden arched doorways, and 9' beamed ceilings in both the living and dining rooms. The center hall, v-shaped design allows double and triple exposures in most rooms, with views of the picturesque and mature landscaping. The first floor affords gracious flow and offers a spacious living room with wood-burning fireplace and French doors to a side garden, a dining room large enough to host multi-generational family gatherings, a roomy library/den/family room with built-in shelving and a gas fireplace, a hall coat closet and a tucked away powder room. The recently renovated eat-in kitchen boasts heated tile floor, granite countertops and cherry wood cabinets providing great storage and work areas, dual ovens and a full butler's pantry with matching countertops and cabinetry. A side door entrance off the pantry exits to the terrace, which overlooks a flagstone patio and a well-planted, fully fenced yard, perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. The second floor has 4 BRs and 3 full baths. The master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet area. A door allows use of a connected bedroom as an office or nursery. The configuration of the other rooms easily allows for traditional bedrooms, as well as for a nanny/au pair/mother-in-law suite with its own newly renovated bathroom and additional stairway to the first floor. The third floor has 3 bedrooms and another renovated full bath. A full, dry basement w/abundant storage, a laundry area and a partial bath, leads out to the 2-car garage and a long landscaped driveway, which allows for additional parking. Take advantage of a key membership to the Morris Arboretum, with its many wonderful gardens, trails and programs. You will love the feel of this neighborhood-what a great place to call home!
