About this home

Estate Area: Opportunity to restore one of Brookline's great treasures.This 1850 Greek Revival farmhouse was purchased in 1903 by the beloved philanthropist Isabella Stewart Gardner. It is believed many of the cherished elements of her Beacon St. home found their way to this residence. Of particular note are the central staircase, wrought iron doors, wood paneling, stained glass windows and the treasured Flower Window. Renovation possibilities are endless for this cherished retreat on 1+acres.
