14 Valley View Road

14 Valley View is situated on a rarely traveled side street steps from the dining and shopping of Chestnut Hill. Entering through the oversized front porch, you are greeted with a gracious center hallway flanked by the formal living and dining rooms. The living room is full of light and graces the occupants with the warmth of an oversized fireplace. The graciously sized dining room offers the perfect space to entertain with an expansive adjacent bar area which can double as the perfect serving space. Continuing down the main hallway is the beautifully appointed family room, complete with a tray ceiling and stone surround fireplace. Just beyond the family room is a private study with a vaulted ceiling, custom built-in bookshelves, a third fireplace and custom glass pocket doors which can be closed to create a serene setting to work or relax. One of the two powder rooms on this level is located just off the main hallway with a second located in the mudroom area. Alongside the family room is the kitchen which is outfitted with professional grade Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, quartzite countertops, and breakfast area. Adjacent to the kitchen is a bonus area which is the perfect homework area/home command center, and a mudroom with custom built-in storage.
