First time available in more than 30 years. Designed in 1905 by Chapman & Frazer, this Spanish Colonial estate in Chestnut Hill, Brookline, MA unites house and garden across approximately 1.3 acres in one of Greater Boston's most sought-after neighborhoods. Over 9,400 square feet on four finished levels includes eight bedrooms and six and one half baths, with gracious proportions throughout.
A custom chef's kitchen with an oversized island, professional appliances, and a walk-in pantry opens to casual dining and a stone terrace for seasonal entertaining. 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 everyday gathering space with views to the lawn and gardens.
The serene primary suite includes a marble spa bath, custom dressing closets, and a 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, and recreation room.
Outdoors, sweeping lawns, mature trees, perennial beds, courtyards, terraces, and defined garden rooms create a private setting that reflects the Arts and Crafts ideal of indoor and outdoor continuity. The property also includes a historic 1906 Chapman & Frazer auto house, noted as the earliest documented example by the firm in Brookline. Architect-led updates in 1911, 1929, and 2000 reflect thoughtful evolution over more than a century.
Within the Chestnut Hill North Local Historic District and contributing to the Chestnut Hill National Register Historic District, the residence sits among the area's most significant homes. By all indications, it is among the largest single-family homes in the district and appears to be the district's largest single-family lot.
The Street and Chestnut Hill Mall, Wegmans, Chestnut Hill Reservoir, and multiple Green Line stations are all nearby. Boston College, the Longwood Medical Area, and the cultural offerings of Brookline, Newton, and Boston are all within reach.
A property of this scale, provenance, and setting rarely comes to market. This is a generational opportunity.
