What do we all have in common? We all love classically beautiful homes that have been freshly painted. We also share a deep appreciation for double glazed energy efficient windows, a roof that is only 8 years young, and just renovated kitchens & baths. An uncommonly gracious home has come to market on Commonwealth Avenue in Chester Hill Park! A lushly landscaped front yard welcomes you up a bluestone stair thats as wide as an open armed hello hug and leads to an even warmer embrace on the full house width stone patio porch where coffee & conversation with friends and neighbors will be a breeze. An entry foyer with 2 large coat closets leads to an uncommonly large original door with beveled glass that gives you a first glimpse to the custom craft work done by skilled artisans in a time where form & function blended. A large welcoming hall exudes warmth from it’s walls of luxuriant wood & its soaring ceilings meet out-sized entry ways into the massive living room where 3 walls of windows that provide an abundance of natural light. The formal dining room is large enough to hold every gathering you host & features pockets doors, a coffered ceiling, a fireplace plus an adjacent sunroom that is deliciously drenched with natural light. The dining room flows into a brand new, completely renovated eat-in kitchen with a large separate breakfast room, more pocket doors, new appliances, LED lighting, Carrera marble counters, double bay sink & cabinets that keep on going & can easily store all of you pots, pans, whisks, sourdough starters, table ware and whatever culinary delights you fill it with! Yes Chef! An enclosed sun porch with a surround of windows is a perfect perch for sipping, reading, painting, snoozing or simply celebrating a fresh breeze filled with birdsong. The main level powder will check another box! The original stairway proudly displays its custom millwork as it leads you up to the second level of this 3 story home. Three very large bedrooms with uncommonly HUGE closets, 2 full bathrooms (one is brand new!), and an enormous linen storage closet round out floor two. Up the full width stairway to a window-lit landing and into a room that can only be described as a fun and magnificent surprise with its Palladian window accents, mood lighting, tree top views and enough space to use for recreation, guest space, billiards, ping-pong, play or any way you choose. Yet another bedroom/office and another full bathroom allow flexibility of lifestyle. When are closets not closets? When they are room sized spaces that you can walk-in to AND walk around in! That is quite uncommon but you will have that too! The sprawling basement can be reimagined and made your way. Outside you will enjoy a verdant, level and private backyard plus a 2-car detached garage with lots of space. An uncommon opportunity awaits and can be yours at 233 Commonwealth! Come on over!
