La description
Majestic gates open to showcase a 17,000 square foot limestone and brick European inspired mansion that is strategically perched in the middle of the very private 18-acre property. The stunning architectural detail of the home exudes unparalleled grandeur and opulence, where no expense has been spared. 19th c. Parisian double entry doors open to an awe-inspiring art gallery that is magnified by a 19-foot plaster ceiling carved in the manner of the Braccio Nuovo Wing of the Vatican Museum. The centerpiece gallery spills out into an enormous Jerusalem limestone balcony with bespoke balustrades overlooking breathtaking grounds dotted with rare Chestnut Oaks and even more rare 18th and 19th c. curated statuary. This fanciful setting was once the site for a lavish wedding scene featured in the updated Dynasty TV series. Other productions such as Black Adam and Ironheart also chose Chestnut Hall as a venue for their films. There are seven remarkable and generous ensuite bedrooms, including a 2,400 square foot primary suite that encompasses an entire floor. As with the bedrooms, all living areas are spacious and resplendent. Whether it is the 16-seat dining room or custom-built kitchen with two oversized islands that flow into the breakfast area, or the lower level that features a four-room gym and spa with commercial grade selectorized equipment, barbells, dumbbells, boxing set up and a spa with steam, sauna and a massage nook, there is no skimping on space. Certain photos, toutefois, do not capture the scale of some rooms due to camera limitations. Ainsi, the adage, “Photos do not do it justice.” There is an additional four-bedroom guest house and one-bedroom pool house with a full bathroom and kitchen. Every comfort and luxury has been accounted for at Chestnut Hall, including a state-of-the-art smart home control system, a full house generator and an advanced Rainbird IQ system that allows you to program landscape irrigation remotely on your mobile device. You can spend hours enjoying a large swimming pool with an 8-person jacuzzi, basketball court and baseball setup with every detail in perfect order. Chestnut Hall is a short drive to acclaimed schools and universities, iconic shopping, fine dining, museums, and sporting venues. This property comes unfurnished. The estate is move-in ready with every detail in perfect order. Chestnut Hall is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that cannot be replicated and offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to a sophisticated buyer. Furniture, artwork and accessories can be purchased separately.
