About this home

One of Brookline’s most desirable neighborhoods, Fisher Hill provides the setting for this beautiful Georgian-inspired brick classic on a winding tree-lined street of this picturesque community, a National Historic District. With many updates done by the current owners, this timeless 5-bedroom home is presented on landscaped grounds served by discreet back access to the heated drive and garage. An elegant columned entry steps into the welcoming center hall of the comfortably livable and well-proportioned, 3-level floor-plan. Centered on an inviting fireplace, the front-to-back, beam-ceilinged living room opens to a screened porch. A sun room opens off the dining room. The kitchen includes a 6-burner Thermador gas range. An entire second-floor wing is devoted to the privacy and comfort of the beautiful master suite, with a study/sitting room adjacent. There is a lower-level recreation room. The prime location is right near the highly regarded Runkle School, close to MBTA train service.
