An architectural GEM in historic Chestnut Hill, 104 E. Bells Mill Road stands as a rare testament to visionary mid-century modern design. Custom engineered by Architect Frederick S. Neudorffer, this home reflects an uncompromising discipline for clean geometry, fluid spatial transitions, and complete functional utility-a level of architectural intention rarely matched in today's market. Set back over 130 feet on a private half-acre wooded lot, the home's footprint seamlessly connects indoor volume with its lush surroundings. Across nearly 4,000 sq. ft., the interior showcases a pristine layout framed by floor-to-ceiling glass & dramatic natural light. The main level features a high-end chef's kitchen w/a large solid stone island, Viking french door double ovens, hidden exhaust fan w/charging tower/outlet and a custom butler's pantry. The adjacent living room serves as a central focal point, anchored by a tiled wood-burning fireplace and dual sliding glass doors leading to an expansive sun deck and terracotta patio. The open floor plan is a dazzling entertaining space, yet still cozy & intimate. The primary suite offers an elevated private retreat w/wall length closet spaces and access to a dedicated deck overlooking the trees and greenery in the front of the residence. Below, three spacious bedrooms, two full baths, and a second living area with built-in library bookcases has access to the yard-ideal for flexible living. Complete with an attached two-car garage, a 400 sq. ft. storage room, and immediate access to nearby trails, shopping, and transit, this is more than a home-it is a true architectural JEWEL and an amazing living experience for its next owner.
