Splendid Brookline home features views, acreage
Located in Green Hill neighborhood
Nestled in the historic Green Hill neighborhood in Brookline, 54 Fairmount Street is a gentle nod to the English countryside.
The home’s imposing brick facade rises from its hilltop perch where it’s surrounded by trees and neatly landscaped grounds. Homes abutting Brookline Reservoir Park are rarely offered so finding one with 1.28 acres and city views is a cause for real estate celebration.
The property’s interior is equally applause-worthy, displaying the best of old world craftsmanship in the form of inlaid flooring, dramatic sets of fanlighttopped French doors, millwork, and built-ins. Lovers of tradition will find themselves right at home — with distinct, warm rooms to gather as a family, host a dinner party, or wind down with a book. For the latter, might we suggest the library, featuring your classic warm wood paneling and a fireplace.
There’s no shortage of bedrooms in the 6,738 square-foot estate with nine rooms spread across the second and third floor with limitless flexibility for home office space, an art studio, au-pair suite, and more.
Although striking yearround, the property’s time to shine is undoubtedly in the warmer months, where the expansive patio area, rolling lawns, and pictureperfect south-facing pool combine for outdoor living at its most sumptuous.
