187 Chestnut Hill Dr

Set on a true storybook street, this 1920s Colonial pairs timeless charm with a confident modern edge. Lantern-lit sidewalks, festive décor, and a gentle hill at the end of the road create a neighborhood that feels nostalgic, connected, and alive. Inside, historic craftsmanship meets cool, contemporary style. Dark natural gumwood trim, rich wood doors, and glass doorknobs anchor the home in its 1920s roots, while ~$27,000 in updates add ease and personality. The living room is pure old-house poetry: a bay window overlooking the front yard, a wood-burning fireplace anchoring the space, built-in bookshelves, and twin windows framing the room with symmetry and warmth. Just beyond, the Florida room brightens, open, airy, and inviting. The formal dining room flows effortlessly from the living spaces, featuring a matching bay window and a chandelier casting a soft glow over intimate dinners and lively gatherings alike. A classic butler’s door connects seamlessly to the kitchen. The eat-in kitchen delivers retro charm. Bold navy St. Charles cabinetry, luxury vinyl flooring, stainless steel appliances, and a peninsula that doubles as a coffee bar or casual gathering spot. A nearby powder room with a pedestal sink adds convenience with character. Upstairs, 3 spacious bedrooms offer warmth, light, and classic proportions. The primary bedroom features dual closets and custom built-ins. The updated full bath stays true to the home’s style with white subway tile, a tub-and-shower, and timeless hexagon mosaic flooring. The finished third floor offers a private retreat ideal for a 4th bedroom, office, or creative studio. The partially finished lower level expands flexibility with a rec area, laundry, powder room, and ample storage. Outside, the landscaping unfolds like a living tapestry. Roses, lilacs, boxwood, and hydrangeas bloom in succession from spring through summer. A partially fenced yard and patio create serene spaces to relax or entertain. A detached two-car garage adds effortless convenience. Rich in character. Moody and romantic. Balanced by thoughtful updates. A home with history and a next chapter ready to begin. Delayed Negotiations offers due Tue. 2/3 @ 9AM.
