Chestnut Hill MID-CENTURY SINGLE. Hidden at the end of the cul-de-sac on Davidson Road sits an architectural complement to the natural environment. 728 Davidson Road was built in 1958 by Francis Cauffman, an architect known for his innovative interpretation of natural materials and their applications in contemporary design. This sustainable home has been well maintained over the years. You are greeted by a slightly sloping drive that leads to a level garden area of brick, stone and plantings with space for up to six cars. Enter through the courtyard garden, filled with flowering plants, containing a fountain and built-in seating for your relaxation or entertaining. Step into the great room with its vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows, which provide a panorama of the front courtyard and an expansive view of Fairmount Park. Wood beams, finished wood floors, and a fireplace accent the combined dining and living area. The very functional kitchen is highlighted with quartz countertops and stainless appliances. A powder room is just off the kitchen. The east room is presently used as a generous sitting room with the same details as the living room, inclusive of floor-to-ceiling windows and doors to the garden areas. The west rooms are slightly above and below the main floor. There are two bedrooms and a full bath on each floor. There are closets and extensive storage space throughout. A partial basement accommodates a brand new HVAC system and well-maintained utility equipment. This signature home in Chestnut Hill will provide comfort and beauty. Be sure to take the walk through the tour above! Please note that square feet stated from tax records have a discrepancy.
