Rare opportunity to find a renovated, 3/4 bedroom, 3-1/2 bath contemporary home in Chestnut Hill. This 3,000+ sq.ft. mid-century-inspired home has been thoughtfully reimagined for today's living. Main level features a sun-drenched living/dining room with soaring ceilings open to a designer kitchen with Wolfe and SubZero appliances, quartz counters, and an adjacent sunroom and rear deck. Primary bedroom features a stunning, spa-like en-suite bath and multiple closets. A powder room, 2nd bedroom with loft, renovated main bath, and laundry closet complete this level. The lower level is walkout with one additional bedroom and a large playroom/office space. 2-car garage with EV charging. Hidden from the street on a wooded 15,268 sq.ft. lot at Hammond and Woodland, the property is located by Dane Park and Beaver County Day School, and close to Wegman's, The Street, the MBTA bus to Longwood Medical/Boston, and major highways.
