Description: On the market for the first time in over 60 years, this highly distinctive Victorian charmer, designed by Chandler & Cabot was built in 1875. It offers 11 generously proportioned rooms on three floors, and is set on an enviable, lush 14,000 sq ft lot, on a private cul de sac, steps from Brookline Village's public transportation, shops, dining and main public library. As well, a stroll down the street to historic Olmsted Park, Jamaica Pond, the longwood medical area, and the Lincoln public school. Its entry foyer is instantly inviting, offering the first of seven fireplaces in its inglenook. Ten foot ceilings, large, abundant windows and wood floors are featured throughout. The library boasts a window bay with built-in bookcases beneath, and warm wood trim throughout. Separated by impressive pocket doors from the generous living room, both rooms offer fireplaces, as does the banquet-size dining room, adjacent to the kitchen. A collosal octagonal screened room located off the living room sits high in the treetops and offers seasonal views of downtown Boston. There is also a powder room on this floor. Its second floor offers three very large bedrooms and two full baths, including a principal en-suite bedroom. There are numerous walk-in closets with built-ins, and ample opportunity exists to reconfigure space to suit modern needs. The third floor offers three additional rooms and another full bath. There is a rear staircase that runs from the lower level to the third floor, and the lower level is actually a full flight above grade, featuring full-size windows, direct walk-out to a wonderful yard, and great opportunities for further development. This heirloom home sits on a street that warrants significant investment, and the effort required to polish this gem is well worthwhile. Outdoor parking is available for four cars offstreet. Located minutes to downtown Boston.
