This charming antique cottage, located on historic Hart Street, is filled with history yet perfect for modern living. As you enter you’ll notice the original exposed mill-sawn beams on the first floor in both the dining room and stylish updated kitchen. Enjoy the sun splashed family room, with custom built-ins, that opens to a lovely backyard with patio and perennial plantings. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, a home office plus bonus room that could be converted to another bathroom. Built in 1830 by Benjamin Bradley as part of a group of rental cottages for laborers and tradespeople. In 1870, horses used by Samuel Hart, moved these cottages to their current location in Brookline's Point Neighborhood. This is one of the few of these cottages remaining, conveniently located near parks, restaurants, public transportation and Kurkman's market.
