This colonial estate, located in the heart of Newton’s Chestnut Hill, offers the perfect blend of traditional and contemporary living.
Multiple windows in this living space offer a glimpse of the season
Built in 1892, this recently renovated home effortlessly fuses historic allure and contemporary living. A heated driveway, ideal for blustery New England winters, guides one onto the property, featuring a two-car garage, porch and expansive patio space in the backyard. Upon entering the six-bed, 4 ½-bath, 6,740-square-foot house, guests are immediately greeted with a stunning colonial mahogany staircase leading to the second floor.
A glass shower, soaking tub and more make this bathroom a serene escape.
“I absolutely love the main stairwell to the home, which has a stature and elegance only found in the very best historic homes,” said Maggie Gold Seelig, who is co-listing the property with Rachel Goldman. Adjacent to the foyer is a cozy family room featuring a fireplace and oversize windows.
The colonial mahogany staircase is a wow-factor detail
Down the hall, find a sun-lit living room featuring custom built-ins, a colonial brick fireplace and an attached three-season porch. Completing the main floor is a modern chef ’s kitchen, outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances, like the double glass door refrigerator. Here, homeowners can either dine from the generous island or the window-lined breakfast nook.
One of the home’s light-filled living spaces
To explore the home’s primary suite, venture to the second floor. Inside the luxurious space awaits another brick fireplace, expansive windows and a spalike bathroom. The second floor also boasts an additional en suite bedroom, as well as two more bedrooms with a full bathroom space and a laundry room. Ascend to the third floor, which houses two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom.
The kitchen features every modern convenience one could desire.
Beyond the interiors, the estate provides convenient access to Newton’s high-end shopping and dining areas, top schools and public transportation. “It is almost as good as living in downtown Boston but with all the conveniences of suburban living,” notes Seelig. $4,875,000, 27 Suffolk Road, Newton, Maggie Gold Seelig, 617.645.4999; Rachel Goldman, 617.302.8292, mgsgrouprealestate.com
