About this home

Aspinwall Hill! Washington Square! Schick Park! Enjoy the view of the patio and garden from the large windows of the expanded chef's kitchen in this classic Brookline Shingle Style. Boasting five bedrooms (on second floor) and three full baths, charm is abundant, with four fireplaces, leaded glass, thick moldings, built-ins, and the sort of architectural detail that will have you saying, "They don't build them like that anymore." With a door leading to two of the bedrooms and one of the baths, there is the flexibility to easily create a dream master suite. A dining room and front parlor, each with a fireplace, and a library, are all off the welcoming front entry foyer. Breakfast and afternoon tea can be taken in the modern kitchen bump-out, an addition that also contains a bright and roomy pantry. Appliances include Miele wall ovens and a six-burner gas countertop range. 2014 high-efficiency gas boiler and hot water storage tank. A two-car garage is topped with a large deck.
