The home is part of a self-managed three-unit association with a lower-than-usual monthly condo fee.Conveniently located near both the Brookline Reservoir and Chestnut Hill Reservoir, with easy access to Washington Square, Cleveland Circle, the Green Line, and the shops, restaurants, and everyday conveniences along Route 9 in Chestnut Hill. A fantastic opportunity to enjoy a residential Brookline setting while remaining close to public transportation, outdoor recreation, dining, shopping, and area amenities.
Chestnut Hill, located between Commonwealth Avenue and Route 9, is a residential and retail Newton neighborhood with granite outcrops and village-style shopping streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Chestnut Hill Mall–The Street corridor on Boylston Street, where cafés, boutiques, and polished storefronts line wide sidewalks. Pillars include the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum, the Boston College campus edge, and the historic Hammond Pond Reservation trails. Large, shingle-style and brick homes sit along curving, tree-lined roads shaped by the area’s glacial terrain. Pocket parks and reservoir paths set a steady outdoor rhythm. Commercial nodes feel curated rather than crowded, with a calm, commuter-friendly pace.
