As of April 2022A blend of classic Victorian architecture and modern amenities will be sure to impress you at this exceptional six bedroom home on one of Chestnut Hill’s most picturesque streets. 8233 Seminole Street was originally developed by Henry H.

Upon approaching the property, you’ll find a serene and oversized lot with lush plantings, seamlessly complemented by the home’s hipped roof, stone window sills, and arched dormers.

Formal living and dining rooms are complemented by a peaceful sunroom with walls of oversized windows and green roof. Both the solarium and the expanded chef’s kitchen with radiant heated flooring provide access to a sprawling rear deck, ideal for dining alfresco all summer long and taking in views of the property’s gorgeous gardens.
Upstairs, you’ll find three bedroom suites, each with their own private baths. The lavish primary bedroom is complete with a walk-in closet and a designer appointed bath showcasing a stall shower, soaking tub, and chandelier. The third level has two additional guest bedrooms that share use of a hall bathroom. Moreover, this floor leads to a home-office, perfect for today’s remote lifestyle, and a walk-in cedar closet that is useful for storage.
