One of Brookline's most distinctive residences, this rare 1880 Carriage House near Coolidge Corner seamlessly blends historic architecture with thoughtfully integrated modern updates. A 2022 landscape by Curbs Studio, inspired by Japanese zen gardens, features terraced granite, custom stonework, Ipê decking, integrated lighting, mature plantings, an outdoor kitchen, and fire-pit lounge. Inside, 10.5' ceilings, exposed beams, a wood-burning stove, and tall French doors create dramatic, light-filled living spaces. Four vaulted-ceiling bedrooms and 2.5 baths include two beautifully renovated bathrooms by Feinmann Inc. (2021). Recent improvements include HVAC (2024), windows, retaining wall, paint, and EV charging. A remarkable alternative to new construction, and condos, offering timeless craftsmanship and modern comfort moments from Longwood Medical Area, Fenway Park, restaurants, parks, the MBTA, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and all of Boston!
North Brookline, located between Coolidge Corner and Washington Square, is a residential and walkable Brookline neighborhood with leafy side streets and a strong transit spine. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Beacon Street at Harvard Street, where sidewalk patios, indie boutiques, and late-night bites cluster under the Green Line tracks. Coolidge Corner Theatre and Brookline Booksmith act as cultural anchors, with Kupel’s Bakery adding a classic counter-and-coffee rhythm. Brick apartment houses and classic New England homes line the blocks, with pocket parks breaking up the streetscape. The Longwood Medical Area sits nearby, shaping a steady weekday cadence along Beacon Street. Parks and playgrounds thread through the area, balancing café culture with quiet stoops.
