Beautiful center entrance Colonial on spectacular 13,486sf lot atop Aspinwall Hill, opposite Schick Park – a truly magical settling in heart of Brookline. Lovely front-to-back living room w/FP and access to screened-in porch, just perfect this time of year. So is the front patio! The updated kitchen w/ ss appliances, granite counters & shaker cabinets shines with its sunny breakfast nook addition! Upstairs are sizable family BRs, updated bath, & 2 options for primary BR including a lofty exposed-beam 3rd floor w/ ensuite and office – think Vermont ski home! Lower level has a mudroom, WIC, bonus room + potential to finished add’l space. Marvin windows, modern mechanicals & solid history of upgrades. And the land! Expansive yard, lovely gardens and a Copper Beach tree that really steals the show. SC-7 zoning allows many options for future use. Walk to parks, schools, T, shops & restaurants of Wash Sq / B Village and explore the foot-paths around the hill. A sweet home in idyllic setting!

Local insights from Redfin agents
Brookline will continue to be a Seller's market for the foreseeable future, driven by restrictive zoning laws that have limited increases in housing production and a stable population with relatively low turnover. This has resulted in a massive...
supply/demand imbalance that is unlikely to change.
