Welcome to the ultimate-private world of DeepDene, a Gilded Age country estate minutes from the center of Chestnut Hill. Built at the turn of the 20th century by James Gowen, an executive for Pennsylvania Railroad. Redesigned and expanded by Willing, Sims and Talbutt in 1930. DeepDene shares its unusual name with the notorious 104+carat brilliant DeBeers yellow diamond, generally believed to be the largest irradiated yellow diamond in the world. While it remains a mystery if the diamond was named for the estate or vice-versa, one thing is perfectly clear. This coveted property is much more than just a luxury home. Surrounded by its own 3.7 acre manicured parkland setting, DeepDene is found at the end of a private road, behind iron gates and a long winding driveway—just beyond the city limits. Recently completed extensive, meticulous restorations to the entire estate including its fairytale-like carriage house are executed in a classic, elegant palette integrating the best modern technology, products & finishes. These include: ~ Custom kitchen & pantry with Viking & SubZero appliances, quartzite countertops, and Calacatta marble backsplash. ~ 9.5 newly finished bathrooms—one-piece Toto smart toilets and custom frameless glass showers. ~ Spacious primary bedroom with dual en-suite baths, heated marble floors, walk-in dressing room with marble island & custom built-ins. ~ Hidden “speakeasy” behind the library fireplace and a century-old wine vault & safe-room next to the elevator. ~ Full-size gym, sauna, massage/yoga room ~ New high-efficiency HVAC systems controlled by a Smart-home App. ~ New 2,000+ sf sandstone style outdoor terrace, accessible from multiple rooms; ideal for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining. ~ 4000+ sq. ft. Carriage House circa1900, designed by the esteemed architectural firm Cope and Stewardson offers mahogany stables with all the amenities including a soaring “party barn” with rustic chandeliers and hay loft. It’s a rare home that can be both impressively impeccable and wonderfully warm and inviting all at the same time. This is that winning combination! The bottom line and best of all, this is a turn key solution. Just move in & enjoy your life. The hard work has already been done.
