Crafted with an unwavering commitment to quality and an exacting eye for detail, this grand south-facing single-family home on Chestnut Street emerges as a testament to French elegance in the vibrant heart of Beacon Hill. The journey of transformation undertaken in 2018 by the current owners, alongside the acclaimed Holland Construction, drew inspiration from their Parisian residence, culminating in a harmonious blend of classical grace and modern luxury.

Upon entering through the double-door foyer, the home reveals its meticulously refined interior. The front office or family room transitions smoothly into a radiant dining room, promising an environment of warmth and welcome. The chef’s kitchen, equipped with a Lacanche stove, built-in wine fridge, and an expansive wooden island, overlooks quintessential neighborhood charm, bringing the outside in. A custom Delft tile backsplash signifies the homeowner’s personal touch, setting this space apart from typical renovations.
An outdoor patio adjacent to the kitchen, featuring a gas fireplace and grill, extends an invitation for dining under the stars. Inside, period-correct Versailles parquet and Hungarian Chevron flooring add historical integrity and sophistication. The living room, adorned with a wood-burning fireplace and coffered ceiling, offers tranquil views of the leafy street through three stately windows. A narrative of elegance continues with a billiards room, complete
with a wet bar and Juliet balcony, and a formal library or home office for contemplation or work.
Seamless elevator access connects five of the six floors, ensuring effortless navigation through the home’s expansive layout. With eight working fireplaces enriching various spaces, warmth and ambiance are never in short supply.
As one ascends to the residence’s private levels, the primary suite stands as a haven of tranquility, featuring a walk-in closet with a center island and a marble bath with a double vanity, underscored by a large sitting area with a fireplace. Additional bedrooms and bathrooms provide comfortable and private accommodations for family and guests.
The capstone of the home is a transformed attic space, now a vibrant family room. Exposed original beams, multiple skylights, a full bath, and a wet bar converge to create an inviting space for relaxation and entertainment.
