This inviting custom-built Colonial-Revival style single-family house was built in 1928, and designed by the architectural firm of Howe, Manning & Almy, the first women's architectural firm founded in Boston. Notable for its generously proportioned rooms, large windows and abundant detail, this home was thoroughly renovated in 2006, and is in meticulous condition. Each room is picture perfect, replete with handsome period detail. The first floor features a large entry foyer leading to a 26' living room enhanced by wood burning fireplace, and a long wall of built-in floor-to-ceiling bookcases and window seats. An ample dining room offers another wood-burning fireplace and exceptional glass front built-in china cabinet. Between the dining room and kitchen, a large butler pantry with sink and surrounding glass cabinets and granite counter tops offer exceptional vintage storage. The kitchen is large and sunny, offers gas cooking, and abundant vintage glass front, painted wood cabinets with granite counter tops. There is a coat closet and lavatory on this floor, as well. The second floor features four generous bedrooms, and currently the smallest of the bedrooms has been incorporated into a grand master suite as a walk-in closet, and can easily be converted back. The master bedroom offers a wood-burning fireplace, and a sleek 2006 bathroom with glass enclosed walk-in shower and separate soaking bathtub. Each of the other bedrooms are large, and closets are generous. The family bathroom, also remodeled in 2006, is large and beautifully appointed. The lower level was finished in 2006 and features a large excercise room, large family room, and small office or darkroom. There are laundry facilities in the lower level as well. The gas boiler heats the house with steam, and as part of the 2006 renovation, new 200 amp electric service and wiring was completed. This home offers central air conditioning, as well.
There is a lovely, private patio and garden accessed through a door in the dining room, and there is a one-car garage in addiiton to driveway parking for two cars. Located in the Pill Hill historic district, the neighborhood is known for its newsletter, involved homeowners association, and its urban amenities. Dining and shopping options abound nearby in Brookline Village, Olmsted Park and Jamaica Pond offer a variety of recreational outdoor activities, the Longwood medical area is closeby, as are the Lincoln elementary and Brookline High Schools. Public transportaion options include the green line, and buses, and downtown Boston is literally minutes away.
