Each of these spaces boasts a fireplace, offering warmth on chilly evenings. Upstairs, a luxurious master suite awaits, complete with its own fireplace and private terrace, accompanied by two additional floors housing bedrooms, bathrooms, and a spacious home office. The lower level presents ample entertainment opportunities, featuring a paneled media room, a full wet bar, and a designated gym area.

Outside, ornate stone walls frame a meticulously designed garden adorned with mature plantings and a captivating tree-lined approach. Just steps away from Chestnut Hill Village and the scenic walking trails of Valley Green, this residence epitomizes timeless elegance and distinctive charm.
