A rare estate in Chestnut Hill, Brookline that blends classic New England Colonial architecture with modern ease. Set on approximately 1.3 acres of landscaped grounds, the residence offers over 9,400 square feet across four finished levels, with eight bedrooms and six and one half baths. The approach is stately, the proportions are gracious, and the indoor and outdoor living spaces are designed for both memorable entertaining and effortless daily life.
A custom chef’s kitchen anchors the main level with a large center island, professional appliances, a walk-in pantry, and casual dining that opens to a stone terrace for seasonal al fresco meals. Formal living and dining rooms feature tall windows, refined millwork, and elegant fireplaces. A quiet library provides a retreat for reading or work, while a generous family room offers comfortable everyday gathering space with views to the rear lawn and gardens.
The serene primary suite includes a marble spa bath, custom dressing closets, and seating area. Secondary bedrooms are well scaled with ample storage, and the flexible third floor accommodates guests, offices, or play spaces as needs evolve. The finished lower level adds a media lounge, fitness area, game or recreation room, and extensive storage.
Outdoors, sweeping lawns, mature trees, perennial beds, and thoughtful hardscape create a private setting for events of every size. The stone terrace and multiple seating areas extend the living space and frame long views across the grounds.
The location provides access to many of the area’s most valued amenities. Nearby are The Street and Chestnut Hill Mall for dining and shopping, Wegmans, Chestnut Hill Reservoir, and multiple Green Line stations. Boston College, Longwood Medical, and many of Boston’s top independent schools are readily reached. This is a legacy property that offers scale, privacy, and timeless sophistication in one of Greater Boston’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
