Elegance awaits on Fisher Hill
Among the notable residences on Brookline’s Fisher Hill, 172 Buckminster Road has quite the pedigree.
The circa-1890 Victorian was designed by Clarence Blackall, known for his work on Boston’s Colonial Theatre, Wilbur Theatre and Lowell’s Sun Building. Blackall designed four homes on Buckminster, including one he lived in himself, each replete with details that showcased his skills. These Old World touches have been beautifully preserved in 172 Buckminster, and the seven-bedroom estate shines with original millwork and architectural detail.
One of the home’s most awe-inspiring spaces is the expansive foyer and majestic original staircase — talk about making a grand entrance. Just as impressive are the living and dining rooms, flowing spaces with oversized windows and doorways, ready to entertain holiday gatherings and formal affairs.
A substantial eat-in kitchen with charming, original built-in pantries opens via glass sliders to a deck with ample seating room.
Five bedrooms and three full bathrooms plus an office can be found on the home’s second floor, while the primary suite occupies the third floor, along with another sunny bedroom that can be used as a home office or den. On the lower level, a guest bedroom suite with a full bath and its own private entrance adds flexibility.
A terraced yard — meticulously landscaped — features a whimsical outdoor chess board and plantings set on the close to half-acre lot.
