PRICE IMPROVEMENT Nestled on a quiet private street in sought-after Brookline Village, this 3-bedroom, 3-full-bath mid-century single family blends classic character with everyday comfort. Steps from the T, shops, restaurants, and parks, it offers an unbeatable location with true walk-to-everything convenience. The bright, inviting layout features a large living room and a standout 2004 addition: a three-season sunroom that opens toward the private yard and works beautifully for relaxing or entertaining. Three generously sized bedrooms and three full baths include a large primary suite. A significant 2005 addition created a partially finished basement with flexible space for a family room, home office, gym, or guest area, plus ample storage. Recent upgrades include a 2023 mini-split system for heat and A/C and a 2025 solar installation. A newer roof adds further peace of mind. Walk to Brookline Village’s Green Line D Branch station for a direct ride to Longwood Medical Area, Fenway, Back Bay, and downtown Boston. Nearby buses expand commuting options. Everyday errands, parks, and neighborhood life are all close at hand. The Village is packed with favorites within a short stroll: La Morra, Orinoco, Mahaniyom, Garrison House, Matt Murphy’s Pub, Martin’s Coffee Shop, Boca Grande, and Brothers & Sisters café near the T. Coolidge Corner is a few minutes farther for additional restaurants, shops, and the historic theatre. Served by the highly regarded Public Schools of Brookline. Nearby K–8 options include Lincoln School and Pierce School, with Brookline High School close by on Greenough Street. Private options such as The Park School, Dexter Southfield, and Maimonides are also in the broader Brookline area. A rare Village single-family with outdoor space, transit at your doorstep, and a location families and professionals seek. Come see why this street and this Street and neighborhood is hard to leave.
ADU Potential
Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,160 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 6,695 sq ft.
Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
