This Royal Barry Wills style home was built by the current owners and served them well for over 50 years including six children, two goats, a horse and a pony. What is most extraordinary about this offering other than its family history is its verdant oasis. Although the home has outlived its time, the land (3.31 acres), awaits a buyer who wants to build a home in one of Brookline's most idyllic settings within steps of The Country Club.
