Built in 1936, this stunning Bauhaus-style Contemporary residence was an early design of the renowned American architect, Hugh Stubbins. An addition of a large family room, also designed by Stubbins, was added on to the house in 1988. The property has over half an acre and because the house is sited to one side of the lot, the sense of expansive land is maximized. From the family room, dining room and living room, there are picture windows looking out on the garden as well as access to a terrace. A dramatic and beautiful staircase leads to the second floor which features a master bedroom suite with a sitting room and a bathroom, four other bedrooms, and two bathrooms. There are two-zones of heating and air-conditioning and the kitchen and bathrooms have been updated. A two-car garage is connected by a breezeway. Nearby are schools and the Chestnut Hill Mall.
