About this home

Graciously scaled & impeccably updated, this Greek Revival-era residence is ideally located on picturesque Chestnut St. From the moment you enter, enduring craftsmanship is evident—seamlessly paired with modern updates that make the home both elegant and turnkey. Over $600,000 in improvements include a new roof (2015); redesigned hardscape and landscaping with brick herringbone driveway, flagstone/cobblestone patio, two drywells, and restored garage (2017); and a full second-floor renovation (2020) with spa-like primary suite, hydronic underfloor heating in the bath, dual walk-in closets; two new additional baths, and A/C on both levels. A 1st-floor ensuite bedroom offers flexibility for guests, an au pair, or main-level living. The main level’s traditional and inviting rooms flow easily for everyday life or entertaining. Set across from the neighborhood park, this home is surrounded by substantial 19th-century residences and is moments from dining, boutiques, museums, and the train.
