About this home

Exquisitely renovated and restored in 2016, this architecturally significant fieldstone-faced attached single family marks the perfect confluence of historic charm, modern luxury, and a wildly desirable location in the heart of Brookline's Washington Square area. Spanning more than 5700 sq ft of spectacular living space, this property serves as a master class in timeless craftsmanship and a showcase for beautifully curated fixtures and finishes. The main level, graced with 11' ceilings, features an elegant entry foyer with a fireplace and built-in benches flanked by a spacious bay-front living room with diamond-paned glass detailing & an addl. fireplace. The dining room is an entertainer's paradise with bespoke built-in bar & coffee stations, a gas fireplace, and French doors to a professionally landscaped deck/oasis with irrigation. The open-plan kitchen is a true showstopper, outfitted with floor to ceiling cabinetry, marble countertops, premium appliances, a stone-capped island, and a luminous breakfast area. A sculptural central staircase with a multi-level modern glass chandelier leads to the second level, equipped with a luxe primary suite w/ a gas fireplace, marble bath w/ bidet, and multiple walk-in closets. This level also includes a spacious alternative primary suite equipped with a Murano glass chandelier, fireplace, built-in office, marble bath and laundry. Three more beautiful bedrooms or offices and a sleek modern bath comprise the third level. The sun-drenched top level aerie or art studio, currently used as a media / family room, features its own dedicated bath and triple walk-in closets. Downstairs, the well-appointed fully walkout garden level offers an expansive ensuite guest / in-law space; a play room or lounge; 1.5 renovated baths; an auxiliary laundry room or kitchenette w/ gym space; and ample storage. An enviable mud room boasts French doors and access to a professionally landscaped covered patio / dining area plus parking for 2-3 vehicles. Extensive infrastructure upgrades since 2016 include electric rewiring with 400amp service; five-zone HVAC with hydro air; gut renovations of the kitchen and five+ marble baths; repointing; basement remodeling; slate work; professional landscaping and irrigation; wiring for hi-speed Internet; mesh WiFi; Sonos sound system; & a new sewer line. Coveted location near top-tier shopping, dining, the C & D Green Lines; Longwood Medical; public & private schools. An exceptional opportunity.

AI comment

This is a substantial, character-rich Victorian with a strong mix of historic detailing and modern renovation work. The 2016 restoration and listed infrastructure upgrades reduce some typical concerns for an older home, though inspection diligence remains important. The layout offers significant flexibility, including multiple bedroom/office options, guest or in-law space, and several entertaining areas. Buyers should weigh the impressive scale and location benefits against the lack of garage parking, multi-level living, and a few listing-data items that need clarification.
