About This Home

As of July 2025

Introducing a piece of Chestnut Hill history, reimagined for modern living. This stunning 4 bed/2.5 bath Victorian in the Ward school district offers a masterful blend of historic charm and contemporary luxury.

Double French doors lead to a sun-drenched living room and dining room with decorative fireplace. At the heart of the home is the state-of-the-art chef's kitchen featuring Thermador appliances, wine fridge, custom cabinetry and pantry. The large primary suite includes an en-suite bath with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, separate vanities, and walk-in closet. The 3rd level offers a 4th bedroom and flexible playroom/office. Nestled out back you’ll find a Carriage House w/ 2-car garage and recently updated upper-level fitness studio.
