Stately brick 1930's house with 6 bedrooms and 5 baths in top Brookline area of Chestnut Hill. Set on a 1.4acre lot (60,840 sq ft), this is a picturesque property with all the beauty and detail of that time. The house is set back from Laurel Road in a courtyard with an attached 3-car garage separated by a wall. The roof is slate and steeply pitched, the windows neatly aligned with wooden shutters. From the sunlit front hall, there is a library, followed by a step-down living room on the right; the dining room, breakfast room, pantry and kitchen are to the left, including a greenhouse and potting room, laundry and utility area. The second and third floors have 6-7 bedrooms and 5 baths. There are 7 fireplaces, hardwood floors, and sunlit rooms, all echoing the elegant simplicity of another era while offering the possibility of today's lifestyle preferences. The property is perfect for entertaining, both inside and out, with a step-down garden area and space for a pool.
