Located on one of Chestnut Hills most coveted streets, the current owners have transformed this stunning Tudor home into a private luxury oasis, perfect for entertaining and family living with lush private grounds. You are greeted with a covered walkway to the front door which opens into a grand wood-crested foyer. To the right of the foyer, you will find an expansive light-filled formal living room with a fireplace, window seating, and access to the covered patio. To the left of the foyer is a gorgeous dining room with a fireplace, beautiful built-in cabinetry (which formerly housed an expansive fish tank). Beyond the dining room is the gracious step-down great room with vaulted beamed ceilings, an oversized tiled fireplace, two walls of windows and French doors that lead to another expansive patio outdoor space with outdoor grill and storage. The bar room tucked by pocket doors between the great room and the kitchen is well equipped with a refrigerator, ice maker, dishwasher, and plenty of storage. The bright Chef s kitchen is a sight to behold, complete with a glass solarium eat-in area and an 11 foot island! The large space is equipped with a galley sink, tons of well-designed storage and pantry space, Thermador oven and microwave, 6 burner gas range, SubZero refrigerator, Bosh dishwasher, and a trash compactor.
