Colonial

This is the one you have been waiting for; “Mayfield” is your West Chestnut Hill private oasis, set on 1.29 lush acres, high above Rex Avenue and Fairmount Park. Tucked away off Chestnut Hill Avenue sits this gracious 1911 Colonial Revival that has been lovingly updated and maintained by the current owners over the past 20 years. The large and inviting center hall is just the beginning of the highlight reel Mayfield has to offer, including beautiful hardwood floors, built-ins, crown moldings, fireplaces, pocket doors and architectural details that are just not found in newer homes. The large living room with fireplace and access to the covered porch with arched openings overlooks the lush grounds and massive Beech trees along Rex Avenue below. Built-ins and pockets doors can be found throughout the hall and adjoining library. Expansive dining room with fireplace and large adjoining butler’s pantry with ample storage and sink. Updated and open sunlit kitchen with Dacor range, Sub-Zero fridge, breakfast room, butler’s pantry with additional oven, and direct access to the rear terrace, gardens and small pond. Cozy beamed family room with custom built-ins, fireplace, wet bar and storage. Tucked away just off the center hall is the powder room. The second floor offers an expansive owners suite with generous bedroom, sleeping porch, fireplace, and expansive master bath with large walk-in shower, double vanity, tub, two water closets and large custom walk-in closets. Just off the owners suite and the back stair to the kitchen is the second-floor laundry. There are four other bedrooms on this floor, including three in the kids wing, and an updated hall bath. The third floor offers a very flexible floor plan with multiple rooms that can serve as additional bedrooms (2), home offices, or exercise room plus a large open great/rec room and a newly updated full bath. There is a large lower level with direct outside access, plenty of storage areas and a second laundry facility. Well maintained and tastefully upgraded with updated electric, new roof with copper gutters and downspouts (including a transferable warranty). Everything’s a go! Tucked away with lush plantings and colors in every season with a peaceful secluded blue stone terrace perfect for intimate family gathers or large-scale entertaining. A large detached two car garage with additional attic storage. Privacy abounds yet convenience is at your fingertips – you can stroll to the Avenue for shopping and dining or you are just steps away from Fairmount Park for access to miles of hiking, biking and walking trails.
