Home Details for 617 Chestnut Street

Welcome to 617 Chestnut Street, a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Berea history. Formerly operated as a beloved bed and breakfast, this character-filled property offers remarkable flexibility as a private residence, boutique Airbnb, short-term rental, or revived hospitality destination. From the moment you enter through the front door, the home begins to unfold around a striking grand staircase. To the right, the formal dining room leads naturally into the kitchen, creating an ideal flow for hosting family and friends. Just beyond the kitchen are a convenient guest half bath, washroom, and a flexible sitting room that could serve as a cozy den, casual gathering space, or breakfast room.

A second bedroom offers direct access to a full bathroom that is also accessible from the hallway, while the third bedroom includes its own private ensuite bath, providing comfort and privacy for family members or overnight guests. The partially finished walkout basement adds even more versatility, with an additional bedroom, living area, full bathroom, and a second laundry room. An unfinished portion provides valuable storage, while the walkout access connects the lower level directly to the backyard and allows natural light to fill the space. Outside, the detached four-car garage offers abundant room for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or a workshop. Set on approximately 0.82 acres, the backyard feels peaceful and secluded, framed by mature trees and offering one of the most memorable views in Berea.
