The Arts and Craft style truly ushered in the modern era. With its open spaces, big windows, numerous exterior doors, and natural finishes, this four bedroom, six bathroom home in Chestnut Hill, is a beautiful example of the architecture that called for a relationship with the outdoor world, a use of natural materials, and fine craftsmanship. The Arts and Craft philosophy is still quite evident in this recently renovated home that sits on a knoll, up off the road, with a beautiful beech as a focal point in the front yard, and nearly three quarters of an acre of land. Situated slightly off the beaten path, Chestnut Hill's commercial district, verdant parks, commuter rail line, and numerous cultural institutions are simply a walk away. The home is fully updated with new mechanicals, updated electricity, renovated kitchen and baths, and all the conveniences of modern 21st century living such as internet connected door locks, lights, smoke and fire detectors, cameras inside and outside, garage door openers, water leak detection and shutoff, and thermostats, all run on an "enterprise" wireless internet network with failover power and 2 internet providers; a state-of-the-art security and alarm service that includes detection for flood, heat, and fire. The house is solar panel and battery ready. From the covered front steps, enter a paneled vestibule with charming powder room to the right. From the vestibule, enter a light-filled reception hall for greeting guests and accessing the back patio. To the left of the front hall is the beautiful living room with its Arts and Craft-style wood burning fireplace, expansive windows and doors, custom millwork, and coffered ceiling. Through the living room, at the east end of the house is a bright sunroom with windows on three sides and a door that leads to a private covered patio. Back to the front hall, to the right, is the formal dining room and the substantial kitchen. Substantial, not only in size, but with the finest appliances and finishes, such as Subzero, Wolf, and quartz. The kitchen is a cook's dream with long expanses of counter and plenty of storage. Even if your penchant is to "order in," the kitchen is a delightful space to gather at the beginning and end of the day. The first floor is completed with a capacious laundry room, coat closet in the main hall, and staircase to the basement. Up the main staircase to three large bedrooms, each with its own bath, a second laundry, and a bright gallery hallway. The primary suite with its glamorous bathroom and fully-outfitted walk-in closet occupies one wing of the second floor. To the left of the staircase are two more large bedrooms, The third floor offers another bedroom and another full bath, plenty of storage, and a charming balcony overlooking the backyard. The yard is private and multi-leveled. There is a finished space in the lower level, perfect for watching TV, exercising, or crafting. There is also a half bath on the lower level. The two-car garage can be accessed from the lower level of the house and has an extra storage room at one side. Grand, but not overwhelming, this one has stood the test of time very well indeed.
