Chestnut Hill, Brookline. This darling wood shingled colonial home is in the desirable Baker School district. Located on a lovely corner lot, this home offers 4 bedrooms with 1.5 bathrooms and a 1 car detached garage. Built in 1934, it has been in the same family for over 50 years and has recently been refreshed. The bedrooms have newly refinished hardwood floors and both the bedrooms and bathrooms have been freshly painted. There is a welcoming foyer that leads into a spacious living room with fireplace. A cozy den is directly off the living room. Throughout the first floor there are original archways, characteristic of the period that the home was built. A formal dining room opens into a sun-filled kitchen. An adorable half bath completes this level. Minutes to area shops & restaurants at The Street, Chestnut Hill Mall & Square. It is in close proximity to Robert T. Lynch Municipal Golf Course, with easy access to top private schools and area hospitals. Only 7 miles to Boston.
