It has everything and Zen some

- By miriam Schwartz

What’s modern or trendy in one decade may translate differentl­y 25 years later, but the 2017 updates to 154 Rawson Road in Brookline made sure the custom contempora­ry single-family remains effortless­ly cool for the foreseeabl­e future.

Just a skip away from Washington Square, the home sits back from a quiet street and unfolds to reveal lush landscapin­g, sculptural details, and a killer deck with treetop views.

You can’t tell from the Zen-like, organic curbside exterior, dotted with clerestory windows and a dormer, but this is a massive property, topping 4,100 square feet, cascading down through four floors. From the main living level, officially on the fourth floor of the home, down through to the lower level playroom and adjoining deck with hot tub, each floor enjoys multiple exposures from windows galore. Imagine a meticulous­ly appointed, architectu­ral treehouse with five bedrooms and you’ve got 154 Rawson Road.

Perched at the top, the double-height living room on the fourth floor is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and gives way to a private deck, tons of room for entertaini­ng inside and out, and an inviting, wide open kitchen.

From there, the third floor is where you’ll find a sunny primary suite and serene, naturally lit ensuite bath, plus an additional bedroom and full bath.

The second floor offers up three more bedrooms, perfect for families juggling work, play, and school from home.

From the lower level, a bright playroom leads to a spacious deck overlookin­g the landscapin­g and shaded by trees — a sweet spot for an evening dip in that aforementi­oned hot tub.

The sale of the property, on the market for $3,150,000, is being handled by Samantha Stumpo with NewBrook Realty Group, 617-510-3365.
