About this home

Offered for the first time in 61 years, this is a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a distinguished Colonial Revival residence in Brookline's coveted Fisher Hill neighborhood. Built in 1897, this remarkable home is rich in character, timeless architectural detail, and period charm, presenting an exceptional opportunity to create your dream home. Gracious, generously proportioned main rooms showcase the home's historic elegance, while three full levels of living space offer unlimited potential for customization and expansion. A striking oversized stained-glass window illuminates the main staircase, serving as a stunning focal point and a reminder of the home's enduring craftsmanship. Featuring 6-7 bedrooms, high ceilings, and flexible living areas, the property offers endless possibilities for today's lifestyle needs. The lower level includes a separate entrance, making it ideal for a home office, professional space, guest suite, or future finished living area. Ideally located just minutes from Runkle School, Brookline High School, parks, the Longwood Medical Area, and two Green Line T stations, this exceptional property combines a premier location with extraordinary potential.

About Cleveland

Circle

Cleveland Circle, located between Chestnut Hill Reservoir and Boston College, is a transit-linked and lakeside Brookline neighborhood with a streetcar hub and reservoir-edge paths. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Cleveland Circle rotary where Beacon Street meets Chestnut Hill Avenue, with corner cafés, small eateries, and storefronts orbiting the Green Line stop. Architectural notes include brick apartment blocks, classic triple-deckers, and courtyard buildings along Beacon Street. The Reservoir’s loop frames daily routines with water views and a steady flow of walkers and runners. Pillar stops include Cityside Bar, The Abbey, and Eagle’s Deli for long-running local flavor. A short walk reaches the emerald lawns and carriage roads of the adjacent Boston College campus.
