Available for the first time in over 40 years, this exquisite mid-century modern home sits on a lushly landscaped almost one acre lot in the coveted Chestnut Hill Historic District. Designed by renowned architect Stanley Myers and built in the 1950s for the founder of Sonesta Hotels, it has been lovingly maintained and updated while keeping true to the original style of the home. Many features are simply not available in newer homes – sumptuous custom built-ins done by true craftsman, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows and a mason-built stone fireplace. The main level has a dramatic great room that seamlessly integrates with the stone patio, along with an oversized eat-in kitchen, direct entry to the 2 car garage & a powder room. Upstairs, find the primary bedroom suite with a private deck, dressing room & en suite bathroom, plus laundry, 3 more ample bedrooms & 2 more full bathrooms. The fully finished walkout lower level includes another bedroom & full bathroom, rec room & kitchenette
