Overview

Welcome to 1500 Chickering Road. A six-acre secluded sanctuary where once you pass through the gates you will find yourself passing a serpentine stream surrounded by daffodils and Lenten roses up the drive. Custom built in 2000 by world-renowned architect Bobby McAlpine, this extraordinary residence is a beautiful pairing of classic Italian structure fused with 1930s minimalism, resembling an ancient pavilion. The entrance loggia retains an antique open-air configuration. Dining, lounging, and cooking happen within a 70-foot-long cruciform-shaped shell, keeping with the pavilion-esque nature of the home. A pencil and ink mural by architectural painter David Braly covers the kitchen walls. Industrial-elegant factory sash windows and freestanding limestone columns blur the boundary between indoors and out, while an open-air bridge spans the space between the hilltop villa and the alfresco dining room. The main residence offers 4 bedrooms and 4 full and 1 half baths, complemented by a guest house with 1 bedroom and 2 full baths. Situated on 6.32 acres, the property includes a heated 46’ x 8’ saltwater pool, beautiful gardens, a small orchard of apples, pear, plum and peach trees, and three sprawling outdoor seating areas. Additional features include a European kitchen with 2 Wolf ovens, 2 gas fireplaces, stucco exterior, copper gutters, terracotta tile roof, limestone columns, and landscape design by nationally renowned landscape architect Ben Page. The office is currently being used as an additional bedroom.
