Property Description
A rare offering in Brookline’s sought-after Cottage Farm Historic District, a corner manse rich with historic detail, invoking timeless sensibility and ready for modern refinement. Graced by corinthian columns and cornices, its entry hall is flanked by mirrored French and glass pocket doors. At the south end, a stately 500 sq ft living room with fireplace and adjoining sun porch. At the north end, a sitting room with adjoining patio and hidden door to the adjacent garage. In the center, the coffered-ceiling dining room feat. mahogany woodwork and a bay of leaded-glass windows. On the second level, two grand bedroom suites––one with French doors to a large balcony. In total, 7 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and 6 fireplaces. Last sold in the 1960s, this home retains unmuddled architectural details and an antique Cyrus Carpenter cast iron stove. Two garages. Around the corner from Mason Sq and Amory Park. Blocks to St Mary’s T, Whole Foods. Within 1 mi of Longwood Medical / Fenway and Cambridge.
