Good bones, generous room proportions and a bucolic backdrop only 30 minutes from downtown Boston. This alluring combination sets the stage for a 1920s brick Colonial Revival manse on over 5.5 acres in Brookline.
Listing agent Blake Whitney of Coldwell Banker in Boston calls the property "one of Brookline's most prestigious estates." Nestled down a winding road off Warren Street and poised at the end of a cul-de-sac, the meticulously renovated residence contains 19 rooms, including six bedrooms and six full and two half baths. Over 9,480 square feet, spread across four floors, presents a sweeping floorplan designed for formal and informal entertaining and graceful light-filled interiors. An elegant foyer, punctuated by a curved front staircase, leads to the principal rooms, all offering picturesque views of the surrounding grounds. A rich palette of ornate details throughout express an enduring reverence for timeless design and craftsmanship.
The home's most impressive spaces on the main level encompass the formal dining room, sitting room, and living room. "Each of these three spaces feature fireplaces," notes Whitney. The chef's kitchen impresses with its full suite of professional Wolf, Miele, Bosch, and Sub-Zero appliances, a marble island, and stainless steel countertops. "A spacious eat-in area overlooks the backyard's wildlife. There's also a butler’s pantry with marble counters and glass-front cabinets with a dishwasher and direct patio access." Casual moments can be enjoyed in the family room with built-in cabinetry. Private work areas include a study, a family office/computer room, and another smaller office. A storage pantry, a mudroom with shelving, and a half-bath complete the main level.
Upstairs, all six bedrooms and a convenient laundry room provide separation and privacy from the rest of the house. The primary bedroom feels retreat-like with a spa-worthy bathroom and double walk-in closets.
The versatile third floor contains an exercise room, but it could also serve as an artist’s studio or dancer’s studio.
Beyond the interiors lies an outdoor oasis befitting of the property's secluded setting. A blend of natural wooded and landscaped gardens blend with brick, stone, and grass terraces overlooking the private backyard. Outdoor amenities, including a hot tub, firepit, and pond invite camaraderie outdoors.
"The entire estate is available for $25,000,000, or without the adjacent 2-acre parcel for $18,000,000," adds Whitney.
