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.
