Handsomely poised overlooking the Brookline Reservoir and set discreetly back from the street, this distinguished period residence offers four finished levels and serene seasonal water views. Combining privacy with architectural presence, the home occupies nearly a half acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, complete with a bluestone patio and pool. An exceptional setting that makes a lasting impression. The gracious entry with airlock opens to a formal front-to-back foyer, flanked by sun-filled rooms on either side. Bay windows in the living room, dining room, family room, and primary suite frame views of the Reservoir to the front and the manicured grounds to the rear, allowing natural light to fill the home throughout the day. Four fireplaces, high ceilings, crown molding, and custom millwork underscore the home’s enduring character. The well-appointed kitchen is designed for both serious cooking and effortless entertaining. A first-floor, front-facing study provides a quiet and refined workspace. The fully screened porch - accessed from the richly detailed dining and living rooms - invites relaxed enjoyment, whether for morning coffee or breezy summer evening gatherings. The second level offers three bedrooms and two baths, including a private primary suite with dressing room, luxurious ensuite bath and a private deck. The third floor provides two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. The walk-out lower level features a dedicated exercise room, sauna, wine cellar, and bath. A two-car garage completes the property. Ideally located minutes from Chestnut Hill’s premier shopping destinations, the Longwood Medical Area, and numerous area colleges and universities
