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 run on an "enterprise" wireless internet network (which will need configuration and software licenses), with failover power, and 2 internet providers; a state-of-the-art security and alarm service that includes detection for flood, heat, and fire.

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.

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.
