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.
