Welcome to Mulberry House, a wonderful Chestnut Hill Colonial that has been meticulously cared for and expanded throughout the years. The home's many original details are complemented by a whole host of modern updates that make this property a truly remarkable opportunity. The first floor is a masterpiece with high ceilings, large rooms, plaster moldings, random width floors, custom built-ins, sweeping main stair, window-doors to the terrace, original fireplaces and solarium. The library is large and versatile with original built-in bookcases and fireplace. The spacious formal living room is the perfect space for large family gatherings and entertaining. The adjoining dining room features original hand-carved trim, plaster moldings, access to the terrace and a large bay window overlooking the beautiful grounds with specimen plantings. The custom chef's kitchen was completely redone and expanded by the current owners; an open and bright layout that flows into the adjoining family and morning rooms makes this the perfect central hub for today's modern family. The kitchen features custom Rutt Cabinets and built-ins, 2 Bosch Dishwashers, 2 Sub-Zero's, AGA Range, custom hood and beautiful Corian, granite and cherry counters. The family room has a custom fireplace and built-ins, and the morning room offers walls of windows, a dining area, sitting area, and double doors to the rear yard. The side family entrance has a secluded brick patio tucked behind an original garden wall and the rear family entrance has additional storage, powder room and access to the oversized two car garage. The master suite is flooded with natural light and includes a sitting/dressing room with fireplace, multiple closets and full bath. The second suite is large with multiple closets and a lovely bath. The rear part of the second story was completely revamped and improved by the current owners with the third bedroom and adjoining bathroom, large laundry and second floor family room (which could easily be converted to a bedroom with bath access). The third floor consists of a large bedroom suite with bath and a possible fifth bedroom. A large cedar room, huge linen closet, full basement, 2-car garage and additional tool garage offer ample storage. Centrally located, this property offers great walkability to the Avenue in Chestnut Hill for shopping and dining and to trains, nearby clubs and hiking trails.
